I have a worksheet created by another user that I am
working with. My view of the file is in black and white only and none of the cell colors are displaying. If I go into print preview, the colors are there. Any ideas???? This is driving me crazy! |

If the fill colours aren't appearing, the high contrast setting may be
turned on.
