Hi,

I am not a Mac user but I did some research online and it appears that you can only change the tab colour in 2011. This feature is not available in 2008.

No, it's a fair question and I agree with you that it's amazing but, according to what I've seen online, you can't do that in Excel 2008. As I mentioned in my previous post, it was enabled in Excel 2011.

Default Color Tabs - Excel for Mac 2011

Coloring the sheet tabs:

Hold down CONTROL and click the sheet tab.

Click Tab Color, and then click the color that you want to use.

Note To remove color from a tab, click No Fill.
