fill color doesn't work
When I try to use fill color on a spreadsheet, it doesn't show on the
screen. When I do a print preview, or print the colors are there. Also when I type my letters in black there seems to be a "shadow of a color" behind them as I type. What's going on? How can I fix these two problems?? |

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 May also fix your "shadow" problem.
