Mac Forum / Applications / Excel / October 2007Excel 2004 crashes when I try to change default cell fill color
If I click the little down-arrow to the right of the paint bucket icon (cell fill color button), Excel immediately crashes and offers to send the diagnostics file to Microsoft (which I have done many times). That file says that thread 0 crashed. This used to work, but I haven't had to do it since the 10.4.10 update. Maybe a coincidence, but that's probably all that has changed since it used to work. Likelier that some preferences file is corrupt, but can anyone point me to the right file to delete? I'd like to avoid having to set everything up again, so I'd rather not blindly start deleting preferences files in ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft. Has anyone else seen this?

The bad file was ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft/Excel Toolbars (11), alas. After I trashed that and restarted Excel all was well (except custom toolbars, of course). When I retrieved that file from the trash and replaced the new default one with the old one and restarted Excel, the old behavior (crash) returned. > If I click the little down-arrow to the right of the paint bucket icon (cell > fill color button), Excel immediately crashes and offers to send the [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Thanks! I have this issue too. Most annoying. Instead of using the Formatting Palette to select the color try the contextual menu option or right click if you have a 2 button mouse to format the cell and choose color there. This does not crash my workbook/sheet where the FP does. > I have this issue too. Most annoying.
