Why can't I see format changes in Excel?

[Karen-Acct]

I am working in excel and making format changes (i.e. font color changes) but
I can't see them in the worksheet. But if I print preview or print the
worksheet the format changes are there

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
