Restore Excel Colors
I changed the settings on my desktop, and since then, Excel colors no longer
work. Can someone tell me where to go to restore excel colors? I want to fill colors in a cell/cells, but the colors do not appear up on the excel worksheet. However, the print preview shows that the excel has recognized the color. Also, when I try to change font colors, say black to read, yellow, etc., the changed color does not show up in merged cells. I would appreciate your generous help. |

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 You most likely checked that option during your "changed the settings" foray.
