I recently received a new computer system at work and am now using Office
2003 (vs Office XP). I am having an odd problem with my fonts in Excel.
These are spreadsheets I have been using since Excel 97 and have never had a
problem like this

When I am viewing my spreadsheets, I see a font, if I change it, there is no
visible change, but it does change the printed version (though not
correctly). When I first opened the spreadsheets, any line that had been
bolded was actually invisible to the viewing eye.

I have reinstalled my fonts to see if this helps, but it has not.

Any ideas or recommendations?

Thanks for your help

Might be this problem........................

The Windows High Contrast setting.

The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or
AutoShape object in an Office document does not change
