Hello
When I try to use a different color font in Excel, all I get is black.
If I check the formatting on the cell, it says its red, but the text
appears as black.

This does not happen in Word, but it does happen in Outlook (I tried to
make portions of this message red.)

Can anyone offer any possible fix or clue

Regards
Ned

Check this out................

The fill color, the fill pattern, or the line color of a WordArt or
AutoShape object in an Office document does not change

As directed, change the High Contrast setting in Windows OS
