Change of text or background color doesn't change on the screen.
In Excel, whenever I change the color of the text or highlight a cell with a
different background color, it's not being reflected on the screen. Any ideas? |

An idea, yes:
may be the conditional format. If for example the cell is supposed to become red when the value is null, and the value is null, then it will stay while the condition is true. Even if you change the "regular" color (it will appear only when the condition is false) |

Under Options, View, Colour is Colour set to 'Automatic' ? Does this happen on any specific sheet or in all sheets, in any specific workbook or all workbooks? -- Bryan Hessey ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bryan Hessey's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=21059 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=390815 |

If this is a problem with all Excel 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 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-ca;320531 Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Wed, 27 Jul 2005 18:07:02 -0700, "Susan" wrote: In Excel, whenever I change the color of the text or highlight a cell with a different background color, it's not being reflected on the screen.
