Can you see the colors in Print Preview?

If this is a problem with all files with coloured cells, the Windows OS high
contrast setting may be turned on. There is information in the
following MSKB article:

OFF: Changes to Fill Color and Fill Pattern Are Not Displayed

Any ideas? Thanks!

Thank you for the help. Article is no longer available. To fix problem:

Go to Control Panel and click on Eas of Access Center

Change High Contrast option

Or

Hold Alt + left shift key + print screen

That will change setting to allow high contrast to be turned off for at
least that session.
