I cannot seem to be able to change the background colors of columns, rows and
cells in Excel. I had no problem when I was using Office 97.
How can I do this with Office 2003?
 
Can you see the colors when in Print Preview or when you print the worksheet?

If this is a problem with all Excel files, 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

Thanks for trying! I have found out what the problem was. The icons were
hidden. I didn't click the little down arrow to display the icons! Duh!
