1367581 2014-02-13 22:22:00 Hi guys
I used to like the yellow, green, blue pink and orange fluorescent highlight colours that excel had.

But now that I have Office 2013 I can't seem to find them.

Are they hidden away somewhere ?

1367582 2014-02-13 23:00:00 Sure you mean excel and Not Word ? Word has Text highlight Colour which is florescent, but excel didn't, only Fill Colour

Just compared excel 2010 & 2013, as well as Word 2010 & 2013 and they re more or less the same, both on the Home Tab / Font sections. 2013 excel actually has more colour functions for cells.

Slightly off topic, but this is my colour choices in 2007, does 2010/2013 carry on/expand this choice?

1367585 2014-02-14 01:31:00 In 2010 the default colour choices are more subdued than previous versions, I assume 2013 has continued the trend. You just have to click the more colours button to get the same screens as posted above and pick what you want that way. It's a little irritating when editing an older sheet and trying to match colours. dugimodo (138)

Thanks for that.
