An Excel spreadsheet saved as a web page is not printing the cell's
background color. I've tried copy/paste the spreadsheet's contents to a
frontpage new page table, re-inserted the cell background colors. The colors
are visible on screen, in preview and in explorer but nothing when sent to
print. I then tried a test page in frontpage, shading text and table, still
no color when sent to print. Any ideas? Thanks

"H",

Using IE6 here, but I belive it's the same.
- Click "Tools | Internet Options..."
- Click the "Advanced" tab
- Scroll down and look for "Printing"
- Check the checkbox for "Print background colors and images"

This is off by default (i.e.: in pretty much everone's IE) so if it's for
public use, you may need to post similar instructions on your site.

Good luck!

The option to print or suppress background colors and
pictures is a settting on each visitor's browser. You
can't overrride this centrally.

It worked. Since this is for an intranet, I can create a faq's post on
printing the background colors. Thank you very much.

Thanks for the info. Since this is for an intranet, I can post the
instructions to change the options.
