Can't view formatted cells in Excel 2003

Guest

When I attempt to format a cell such as changing the color to red, I cannot
visably see the change on the spreadsheet. However, the format, font
indicates that the cell is red. Also, when I print to a color printer it is
in red.

What could be the problem?

btw I didn't notice any conditional formats or custom views. It appears to
be something affecting the program globally.

The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or
AutoShape object in an Office document does not change

As directed, change the High Contrast setting in Windows OS
