Hi Mike

First thing I would do is check you have all the windows and office updates,
then check you have the latest driver for your video card from the
manufacturer's website.  If that doesn't help, post back.

Either you're in View|Black and White, or you need to turn off High Contrast
in the Windows Control Panel Accessibility options.

I know people being pedantic can be annoying but we've no way of knowing your
skill level! Are you sure you have view > color /greyscale set to color. As a
quick check press ALT + C?

Did that answer the question / help?

John, view is set to color. The annoying thing is that in slide sorter or
presentation views I do not have the problem, only in normal view?? Any other
ideas, thanks for your help, Mike

Sorry that was my best guess. Setting view to greyscale doent affect the
slide sorter/slide pane or presentation - just edit view.

show they are fine, regards Mike
