Highlight in Excel When I Use High Contrast Black Windows Color Sc
I recently switched to using a black background in windows.
It's been great. I no longer get tension headaches. The only problems 've runinto have been in excel. I can't get the cells in excel to be shaded in colors. For instance, I can't highlight a cell in yellow. It will just stay black. I use Windows XP and Excel 2002. Thanks! |

Highlight in Excel When I Use High Contrast Black Windows ColorSc
It's a known problem in Excel. If the high contrast setting is turned on
you won't see the fill colour. There's information in the following MSKB article: Changes to the fill color and the fill pattern are not displayed in Office programs http://support.microsoft.com/?id=320531 montgomerymouse wrote: I recently switched to using a black background in windows.
