Color-filled boxes, borders aren't visiable on screen only in prev
We have Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003 on the computers at
work. A coworker and I collaborate on a newsletter via our shared documents folder on the server. For no obvious reason, when she was working on the newsletter in Publisher today, none of the color fills, transparencies or text box borders would show up on the screen. The Format text box tabs show what she did and the changes are visiable in the print preview window, but not on screen when actually working in the document. The same document works fine and shows everything when I pull it up on my computer. I made sure her computer was updated, checked all the tools/options and view settings -- everything. I created a new publisher document on her computer and had the same issue. I created a new Word document on her computer and not only did color fills, boarders, etc. not show up on the screen, they don't show up in print preview now either! I got so frustrated that we erased the whole office suite from her computer and installed a brand new, never been opened Microsoft Office Small Business Edition 2003 suite. Same exact problems persist. HELP!!

Hi Mary,
Thank you so much for the response. Unfortunately, this didn't fix the problem. The "Detailed Display" was checked already. So I went to the FAQ link you sent. dragging the Hardware Acceleration slider down three notches didn't change anything. I identified the graphics controller as an Intel 82845G (6.14.10.3889) but can't seem to locate whether or nat that needs/can be upgraded. Could that be the problem?

If you go to the Intel web site they will do a check to see if you have the
latest update. If you don't want the automatic check there is a download.

Color-filled boxes, borders aren't visiable on screen only in
I've got the latest update for the Graphics Controller, and double-checked to
make sure I have all the latest Microsoft updates, too. Still having the problem of not being able to see fills and borders on text boxes in Word or Publisher. Again, both print with the colors in place and Publisher displays colors in print view (not Word, though). Clip art, photos, fonts and eveything else displays in full color -- just not text boxes and borders. Any more ideas?

Color-filled boxes, borders aren't visiable on screen only in
Newer printer, completely current drivers (checked for updates). Changing
printers doesn't fix problem either. Out of continued sheer frustration, I uninstalled Microsoft Office again this morning, deleted everything connected to it in the Registry and reinstalled Office. Problem persists!!! It's like the drawing tool bar has a glitch in Publisher, Word ...and yes, Excel, too! The only thing left I can think of is that this computer is running Windows Home Edition and all the others have Windows XP. Could that cause an unexpected sudden glitch like this? Is my last resort to wipe the harddrive clean and start all over again? "Mary Sauer" wrote: What printer model are you using? Is the driver current?

HOORAY!!!
Thank you so much, Mary! That was the problem. My coworker swore she "didn't touch anything; it just stopped working." As soon as I read your last post I went into the office over the weekend because it all made sense -- I remembered seeing a different wallpaper on her screen. She didn't change anything in Microsoft Office; she changed the controls on her display! After four days and countless hours of frustrated brain time, it was all resolved with a simple click of one box. Amazing! Thank you soooooo much for your assistance!
