A different "Fill Color" problem

[JKD]

Hello,

I am filling out an excel form that was made up by our company. In th
form there is a large section for drawing, that is made up of a bunch o
merged cells.

I'm using the drawing function and drawing shapes withing this area o
merged cells. I try to fill some of these shapes with color. When
do so, it appears fine on the screen. However, in print preview an
when I try to print, the shapes do not print with any fill color i
them. The sheet is not protected and I have admin rights.

My high contrast setting is not turned on. This appears to be th
opposite problem. The fill color appears fine on the screen, but won'
print that way. Any ideas would be much appreciated

In File>Page Setup>Sheet do you have "Black and White" checked?

Or "Draft Quality"?

Uncheck these.
