Applying colour to cells

[David Webb]

Hello, I have never had a problem with previous versions of
Excel, but I find in Excel 2002 that I cannot fill a colour
in a cell. If I do, it will show up in Print Preview, but
the colour won't show in the main screen. How can I make
Excel display the colours chosen?

If the fill colours aren't appearing, the high contrast setting may be
turned on. There's information in the following MSKB article:

Thank you. That has solved it!
