Word Art loses color; unable to restore

[magickalady]

A previously saved (zip disk) flyer comes up with no color on the Word Art
portions. It will not allow me to fill it back in, though other commands
work. I tried a blank document with same results.
Please help! I need these flyers yesterday.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Magic,

Use the Accessibility icon in the Windows control panel
to see if 'high contrast' settings have been turned on.

Bob.

Thank you for your quick response, but I'm still stuck.
The "high contrast" is checked. My computer was recently upgraded, and I've
encountered many problems, but this is the first one I've been stuck on. I
REALLY need ART for my karaoke flyers.

Any other ideas??

Thank you!

Well, what Bob was trying to tell you was that you don't want "High
contrast" checked; that is what is causing your problem. Clear the check
box, and you should be back in business.

Bob,

Thank you soooo much! I finally get it ...UNCHECK! the high contrast! i'm
off & running now.
It certainly is nice to have a place to go to get these blobe moments
figured out!!!

Hi Magickalady,

Thanks for Suzanne's clarifying my meaning
This option seems to 'pop on' for a number of
folks, I suspect more for laptop users where
a keyboard key can have multiple uses or for folks
who tend to 'lean' on some of the shift keys on their keyboard
when doing another action. The 'default' keyboard shorcut
to activate High Contrast is simultaneously pressing

left ALT+left SHIFT+PRINT SCREEN
