Background Color missing

[Glen Davis Jr.]

One user has an Excel 2002 spreadsheet that occasionally contains a "total"
line, which has white text on a green background. Several others share the
spreadsheet and it looks fine. But one user cannot see the "total" lines
because the background does not display green, so the text is white on
white. What would cause this and how can I repair it?

Thanks!
Glen

Glen - under tools/options/view/color - the default maybe
set to white. try automatic.

If this is a problem with all files with coloured cells, the Windows OS high
contrast setting may be turned on. There is information in the
following MSKB article:
