How to change Excel window background colour but not affect the printout.

thanks.

RE: backgrounds

Hi Anne. This is not a configurable option in Excel, but there is a trick you can use to achieve it. Essentially, create a jpg file such as a rectangle coloured with your prefered colour. Once you have that within Excel select Format - Sheet - Background and navigate to your saved graphics file. This will install that graphic as a background image but won't print it out. Hope this helps.

Excel tip:

Hide columns in an Excel 2010 Worksheet

If you don’t want part of the Excel worksheet to be visible or when you don’t want certain data to appear in print outs, then a simple solution is to temporarily hide a column or multiple columns.

Hiding a single column:

1)Right click on the column header of the column you want to hide (this is the grey bar along the top edge of the worksheet)
2)Choose Hide from the menu
3)This column will now be hidden from view

Hide more than one column:

1)In the column header drag select to highlight the columns you want hidden
2)Right click and choose Hide from the menu
