invisible color
I can only see blk/white on my worksheets. I can change text color and/or
highlight a cell and it appears as though nothing happened. But - when I pull up the 'preview' ... the colors show and the colors print correctly. I want to use the highlight to mark cells that will be variable information each time I use the template, so I need to be able to see the colors when the worksheet is in 'active mode'. (hope that makes sense) I did something that caused this problem... wasn't always like this. Using Office XP Thanks! |

Click on Tools | Options | View (tab) and ensure that Colour (bottom
of panel) is set to Automatic. Hope this helps. Pete On Jul 7, 11:32 pm, cindyhosch wrote: I can only see blk/white on my worksheets.

If all workbooks and worksheets, perhaps this fix...............
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?kbid=833258 The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or AutoShape object in an Office document does not change As directed, change the High Contrast setting in Windows OS Gord Dibben MS Excel MVP On Sat, 7 Jul 2007 15:32:04 -0700, cindyhosch wrote: I can only see blk/white on my worksheets.

The only method that worked for me was the following:
Desktop/Properties/Appearance/Choosing Windows Classic or Windows Standard for "Color Scheme"/Normal for "Font Size"/Apply/OK I hope this helps...
