Hi Drew,

This may have nothing to do with it, but if you have a non colour printer
selected, it will show black & white. You should go to Print and select the
colour printer and in the print dialogue box select print preview and see if
that makes any difference.

Gord,

Everything prints out in color. For some reason, it just doesn't show
color
when I "print preview" and it's annoying more than anything else. I would
like to know how it will look before actually printing it. If you have any
other ideas, please let me know. I went through all the menus, options,
and
help but couldn't find anything. That's why I'm here. Otherwise, I'm
pretty
Excel knowledgeable but I've never seen this before. It's a new job so it
was
just like that when I got the computer.

Thanks,
Drew

Does the actual printout turn up in color?

If not, perhaps check FilePage setupSheet and uncheck black and white
and
draft quality boxes.

I have Excel 2003 here at work and can't find out how to change the

preview display to show color instead of only black and white. Please
advise
because it's useless only seeing b&w when I need to see how colors look
together, etc.

Thank you in advance
