Cells do not show color

Randal · Jan 18, 2005

If I highlight a cell with a color, it does not show on the screen --- but
it shows on the printed copy. Is there a setting somewhere that will allow
me to see color highlighted cells on my screen?

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