microsoft excel for mac change theme colors

I have selected the option as suggested however nothing changed.

I found out the user was recently migrated from Windows 7 - Excel 2010 to Windows 10 - Excel 2016.

I am thinking I this could be a compatibility issue since, files created after the migration works fine however, files the user migrated with are the ones displaying this problem.

Only when Ione cell is selected and I try to change the font color the system hangs.

If I attempted to change the color of that font again, the program crashed.

I just updated to the latest version (15.39) the error appears to have gone away.

I just uninstalled AVG and now Excel is working for me perfectly.

For the curious, I installed Avast instead.) I was having the problem with bold, highlight, font color etc.

For me, it started to hang for a few seconds but then it worked itself out.

If I simply open the cloud file and work with it, the secondary font color menu (looks like Crayolas) does not appear.

I have to ESC out.

If I save the cloud Excel file locally, close the Excel file and then reopen the Excel file from my Macs drive, the secondary font color menu works correctly.

This worked for.xls and.xlsx files.

I shouldnt have to do these extra steps but they are simple, quick and resolve the issue.

Based on the idea that its a prior version converted to a newer version of file, I simply copied the spreadsheet from the old file into a new empty file, and changing the text colors worked fine.
