Colors too dark....

[BiT212]

I inherited a spreadsheet which is using dense, bright primary colors to
highlight cells. This is sucking my printer dry and causing headaches to
read. The author must never have printed & have a really lousy monitor.

Is there anyway to highlight the entire spreadsheet & change the
transparency or brightness or something?

No.

I found the "How to Modify Color Palettte" here:

but it's for "...what colors will be seen in previous versions"... so if I
find someone using 2003, maybe that would do it?

That won't change the color of what is on the sheet you have.

Oh. It's for the next sheet I create...? (Darn it, darn it, darn it....!)

You could adjust/set the colors and re-apply to groups of cells you
select, but it isn't going to work by selecting the whole sheet.
