Formatting
 

My Excel only displays Cell Formatting in the Print Preview page, but not
when working in Normal display. Can't see if this is an error in the
programme or whether I've amended the settings somehow. recently had a full
system crash and had to reload my OS, drivers and applications so not sure if
this is the root problem

If by formatting you mean background or fonts colors...............

The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or
AutoShape object in an Office document does not change

As directed, change the High Contrast setting in Windows OS
