How do I display color in excel in normal view?

[Guest]

I show my color backgrounds of cells in print preview, however they do not
show up in normal view. I just upgraded from 2000 to 2003 office
professional.

Might be this problem........................

The Windows High Contrast setting.

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

Thanks... that is such a relief. Those accessibility options have been
driving me crazy for a couple of weeks now. I've already changed a bunch
(someone had been using my computer earlier that set them all up).
