Can't Display colour
I have come across a computer that won't display any colours except
black/white in Excel 2003 workbooks that have colours that show up OK on other computers. eg. Changing font colours/cell shading etc doesn't show on the worksheet. I've looked throught the help files but haven't found any info regarding this. It's probably very simple. Am I missing something obvious? Any suggestions on how to get colours to display would be much appreciated. -- AJM1949 |

If colors display on the screen correctly, but print in black and white, then
click on File | Page Setup | Sheet | uncheck the "Black and white" box | OK. If colors print correctly, but display on the screen as black and white, then click on Start | Control Panel | Accessibility Options | Display | uncheck the "Use high contrast" box | OK.

Thanks for the info-colours do not display correctly in Excel, but are OK in
other programs eg Word. Unfortunately your other suggestion made no difference. It seems to me that the problem is somewhere in Excel's default settings. -- AJM1949 "garfield-n-odie" wrote: If colors display on the screen correctly, but print in black and white, then click on File | Page Setup | Sheet | uncheck the "Black and white" box | OK.
