Word 2002- graphics problem

[Guest]

I create designs on a blank word document but for some reason the fill
color and line color buttons have stopped working.They work alright in the
Paint program but not in Word. I tried restoring to an earlier point but that
didnt work ,then I removed Word 2002 program and reinstalled it but that made
no difference either. Also previous color compositions that I have saved and
printed now appear only with black lines. I have an Acer Aspire running
Windows XP.

Help please?

Try posting in a Microsoft Word newsgroup - that's where
the Word experts hang out.

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
