How can I get my "print preview" to display in color instead of b&
I have Excel 2003 here at work and can't find out how to change the print
preview display to show color instead of only black and white. Please advise because it's useless only seeing b&w when I need to see how colors look together, etc. Thank you in advance |

Does the actual printout turn up in color? If not, perhaps check FilePage setupSheet and uncheck black and white and draft quality boxes.

How can I get my "print preview" to display in color instead o
Gord,
Everything prints out in color. For some reason, it just doesn't show color when I "print preview" and it's annoying more than anything else. I would like to know how it will look before actually printing it. If you have any other ideas, please let me know. I went through all the menus, options, and help but couldn't find anything. That's why I'm here. Otherwise, I'm pretty Excel knowledgeable but I've never seen this before. It's a new job so it was just like that when I got the computer.

Hi Drew,
This may have nothing to do with it, but if you have a non colour printer selected, it will show black & white. You should go to Print and select the colour printer and in the print dialogue box select print preview and see if that makes any difference. Rob "Drew" wrote in message ...

Hi Rob,
That did it! I just changed my default printer from the black and white to the color one and the print preview now shows in color. Thanks a lot!!!

Then how did you print in color if you had a B&W printer selected?

The B&W was my "default" printer, so when I would print, I would always
switch over to the color one. The key was to change the default printer to color. I always print preview before I get to the print option box, therefore I don't print, change the printer, and then print preview. That may have shown in color but most people don't get to print preview through the print command. They do the print preview and then if they like it they go to print.
