format cell background color

[Guest]

Help!
Why don't the background colors I format, show in Excel 2003. They only show in Print Preview not when I'm editing. They always did in other versions. What have I got set wrong? (LOL!! as usual!)

Q320531 -- OFF: Changes to Fill Color and Fill Pattern Are Not Displayed,
Incorrect/missing colors may occur with use of High Contrast under Display tab of Accessibility Options. Colors don't show on
monitor however, you may be able to see the changes in print preview and on a printed page.
