MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / June 2007Colour Problem in Excel 2002
Hi, I'm having a really annoying problem. When I create autoshapes in Excel 2002 (XP), when I scroll down the page, and then back up, the colour is distorted and ruined to look at. It prints fine, but it is very annoying, and bad to look at. It's like the colour just doesn't stay, lines and bits of colour vanish every time this happens. Has anyone had this problem before? I've never seen this. But Excel and other windows programs use the printer driver to know how to display stuff. You may want to try a different printer (or printer driver) to see what happens. Maybe even download a fresh driver from the manufacturer's site. Same thing with the video driver, too??? Or even fiddle with some of the display settings--if you do this, make sure you write down the existing settings before you do anything--so you can get them back to what they were before if it doesn't help. If that doesn't help, you may want to provide more details--what's the make and model of your printer? > Hi, I'm having a really annoying problem.

SignatureDave Peterson I have a similar problem but in reverse order. The problem is my video card isn't up to the task! Sometimes when I apply formatting it doesn't display properly. When I scroll out of that area and then scroll back the formatting displays properly. It has something to do with the refresh rate of the video. Specing out the video wasn't a big priority when I bought this machine. Now I know better. Biff > I've never seen this. > [quoted text clipped - 24 lines] >> >> Has anyone had this problem before? There's an acceleration setting under: control panel|Display|Settings Tab|Advanced button|troubleshoot tab Maybe you could try a few adjustments. > I have a similar problem but in reverse order.

I'll keep this handy and the next time it happens I'll try it. It doesn't happen very often but when it does you're like, what the heck is this!!!

It's when I look it at it on my screen. I make a yellow box say, and it looks perfect. I scroll down, and then back up, and on my screen there are big white streaks in it. It looks awful, but it doesn't happen in Word or Powerpoint. I've played with the display settings, but with no luck! Doesn't happen on any other machine. Which settings did you try changing? Did you try changing the screen resolution? (Still just a guess.) > The problem isn't when I'm printing, it's more like T.Valko. It's when > I look it at it on my screen.

SignatureDave Peterson I tried all settings from 800x600 all the way up to 1760x something. No luck. It doesn't happen on any other machine I have seen, at home or work, which makes me even more puzzled. Sorry, I don't have another suggestion. > I tried all settings from 800x600 all the way up to 1760x something. > > No luck.
