how do I get color to show on desktop

[Electric Needle]

If I change the cell or print color in an Excel document it does not show on
the desktop only in the Print Preview. I am using Excel 2007 with Vista. Is
it the Vista, Excel 2007 or both? Also in the WordArt of Excel 2007 I do not
see the "Rainbow" WordArt option that was available with Excel 2003. I used
that option almost exclusively and would like to be able to use it again. Is
it available on Excel 2007? If so how do I find it?

I don't have Vista, but in Windows XP, unchecking the "High Contrast" option
in Windows Accessibility options cures the problem.

Maybe have a look around for that option on Vista.
