cannot change background color

[lizardtoe]

I am working with a sheet that was made by someone else a long time ago. part of the sheet has a white background and part of the sheet is all gray. I cannot get the background color to change from gray. In the areas with white background, I can change the background color, but in the gray area, nothing happens.

Any ideas why the background color is fixed?

Check for any Conditional Formatting?

Make sure you're not looking at the page-break preview... switch to normal view instead.

Don't worry about it... mental blocks happen to all of us every once in a while....
