display of shading on screen

chylton · Oct 20, 2004

I cannot get cell shading to display on my screen. When I go to print
preview as well as print, it shows up. I am using excel 2002, anyone
with any ideas?

If this is a problem with all Excel files with coloured cells, 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
