I can not change the font color in certian cells. When I type in the cell I
see the color I want until I hit enter. Then it turns back to black. Help.

Any conditional formatting attached to those "certain cells"?

Format>Conditional Formatting.

How about background color? Does that show up?

If it were "all cells" I would suggest this KB Article.

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

As directed, change the High Contrast setting in Windows OS
