Hi Baffled,

In some cases if you have turned on the high contrast settings in Windows Control Panel under 'Accessibility' it will disable some
color display features in Word.

Is there a setting that turns off ability to see colors inside a shape or
when you change font color? I have checked the properties and it shows that
the color is there but I cannot see it. The transparency is set to 0.
