Bob, thank you for replying. I don't think it really helped me, though. To
make this as simple as I can: If I choose a cell and sak Excel to fill it
with a background color, the color only shows up if I go to print preview and
look at the page there. In Excel workbook it stays white. Other people have
theirs color in Excel workbook, so there is certainly something that is not
right. I have tried to find any formatting or such that might have the wrong
selections to fix this, but no luck. Any ideas?

I am very new to Excel, but I know this just isn't right. Whenever I fill a
cell with a color it doesn't show up colored in my workbook sheets. It does
in print preview. I have tried just highlighting and filling a cell wil
color, using conditional formatting and coloring them that way. Nothing
seems to work, my Excel pages stay white.
