I recently received a new laptop with Office 2003 Basic
installed. Went to site to activate and transferred some
spreadsheets that I've had from Office 2000.
The problem is that cells that I selected to change color
for appearance are now white. However the interesting
point is when the cell is selected and the property is
checked it shows the color the cell is supposed to have.
If I view the document in Print Preview the cells that
were colored show and print correctly but the display
shows these cells as white. Another interesting point is
that a few cells where I have summing whenever I insert a
number in one of the columns which will be summed the summ
occurs and the color appears in that cell. If I minimize
the page or go to another tab and come back that cell is
white again. The same happens when I change the 'tab'
color. It appears white even though the property
indicates the correct color. BTW cells that are white
have the property of white.
Is there some default or configuration setting that I am
not aware of in Excel 2003 that needs modified? I'm
confussed as to why with no formatting or conditions in
cells why one can not select a cell or range of cells and
change it's color? Whats wrong....any thoughts?
Thanks
