I'm using Excel '03 and filling cells w/ a color (with the paint bucket).
The color does not show up in my spreadsheet, but does show up when I print.
Every now and then I get a fill color to show up in the sheet, but if I click
in another cell, the colored cell goes back to white.

Hi Jack,

See MSKB article # 320531:

'Changes to the fill color and the fill pattern are not displayed in Office
programs'

If the high contrast setting is turned on you won't see the fill colour.
There's information in the following MSKB article:
