invisible color

[Guest]

I can only see blk/white on my worksheets. I can change text color and/or
highlight a cell and it appears as though nothing happened. But - when I
pull up the 'preview' ... the colors show and the colors print correctly.

I want to use the highlight to mark cells that will be variable information
each time I use the template, so I need to be able to see the colors when the
worksheet is in 'active mode'. (hope that makes sense)

I did something that caused this problem... wasn't always like this.

Using Office XP

Thanks!

Click on Tools | Options | View (tab) and ensure that Colour (bottom
of panel) is set to Automatic.

Hope this helps.

In Windows, click on Start | Control Panel | Accessibility Options |
Display tab | uncheck the "Use high contrast" box | OK.

If all workbooks and worksheets, perhaps this fix...............

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

The only method that worked for me was the following:

Desktop/Properties/Appearance/Choosing Windows Classic or Windows Standard
for "Color Scheme"/Normal for "Font Size"/Apply/OK

I hope this helps...
