Color not working

[CC]

I am operating Windows 2000, using Office Pro 2003. I am
no longer able to format my cells with colors, either
shading or text coloring. I have run the repair feature,
but it didn't work. Bold, Underline, and similar
functions still work.

Please help.

Thanks.

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:

Great advice - I've been trying to fix this problem for weeks! Not only did
this make my EXCEL start showing the color shading correctly, but now my IE
does not go into HUGE FONT MODE any more on certain web pages!

THANKS
