I have a spreadsheet with a fill-color in some cells, and also some text that
is red. It displays properly on the screen, but it will not print in color --
it always comes out black and white. I've checked the printer settings and
it is set for color.

Other spreadsheets I have print properly to that printer. But every
spreadsheet I get from this one client is like this.

I am using Excel 2003, on a system running Windows XP.

Click Options button in File, Page Setup to see what print settings are set
for that document. Client may have b&w print default settings for his
worksheets.

Thanks! I already tried that, and changed the setting to color. So,
unfortunately, that isn't what is causing my problem.

Are you set for "Draft Quality"?

If so, uncheck it.
