Dear All,

Glad to be here again. I have a problem with microsoft excel 2003, colors
don't show or display when I am processing a spreedsheet ( the cell stays
blank) but I can see them when I go into print preview and when I actually
print it. Could anyone please help me diagnose this problem?! Thank you.
