Our first problem today is from Joe in Indianapolis, and he writes;

I have sheets that won’t show the colors that I have formatted into them. When I go a cell, it is white.  When I open the color palette the color I chose for that cell is highlighted with the box around the color that is supposed to be there.  When I try to color the same cell with the same or different color, nothing happens.  It’s as though the color generator is turned off.  Help, help. and help.

The most likely cause of this is that the accessibility settings on your PC are wrong. Try this

1. In Windows click “Start” and go to the “Control Panel”
2. Go to “Accessibility Options”
3. Select the “Display” tab and unselect the “Use High Contrast” check box
4. Click “OK” to close the “Accessibility Options” dialog box and to save your settings

If you go back to your spreadsheet you should be able to format the cell color’s as normal.

Let ne know how you get on with this Joe.
