autoshapes fill and line color won't show up

[Nan Quate]

All of a sudden autoshape fill and line color will not show up in all
Microsoft Products....Word, Publisher, PPT. When I open any previous
documents with fill or line color, the color or fill does not show up. I
have run a fix and repair but still doesn't work. I am able to select the
color but it does not show up in document. Power point show backgrounds only
show up when I "view show".
This has never happened in all the years I have used the product. Any help
would be appreciated.

Have you changed the options in Printer Settings under Word Options, Display
tab?

In Windows XP, click on Start | Control Panel | Accessibility
Options | Display tab | uncheck the "Use high contrast" box | OK.

In Windows Vista, there should be an option to turn off high
contrast somewhere in Start | Control Panel | Ease of Access
Center. You can also toggle high contrast on or off by pressing
Alt+LeftShift+PrintScreen.
