excel 2007 olour display problem

[marsbar1]

when using excel 2007 if I cange the font colour or cell colour fill command
the cell contents still appear black on a white background. I can only see
the correct colurs in print preview mode. Any help on this would be
appreciated.

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

Thank you so much for this. It was driving me round the bend. This has worked
for Excel and everything now looks so much better. I never knew that setting
was there, but must have done something in error. Once again Many Thanks

Many thanks Garfield. That was a great help to me as well. Wish I'd checked
this out sooner!

I'm yet another saved from going stark raving mad when the display changed
from normal to all black !

Yours gratefully
