Check to see if you have "Use high contrast" checked in Control Panel |
Accessibility Options | Display. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Suzanne. I followed your suggestion but all it did was greatly
increase font size and bold everything as tho I was going blind. I couldn't see that it restored the colour palette. Perhaps I have to change something else? Kind regards, David "Suzanne S.

No, you misinterpreted my reply. I was suggesting that having this option
checked might be the cause of your problems. What is the color depth setting in Control Panel | Display | Settings? -- Suzanne S.

No clues, then, but you might try asking in word.drawing.graphics, where
they might have better ideas about color issues. -- Suzanne S.

OK, I've fixed my problem - the absence of a number of colour shades, mainly
due to the loss of RED. I found that I could print the full range of colours OK, even though they did not show up on the screen, suggesting a monitor problem. Somesone suggested looking at the monitor connection, which I did. I found there was a poor connection/bent pin on the connection from the monitor to the computer. Once I fixed this, the rainbow of colours returned to my screen. Many thanks for everyone's help, David "DavidofSydney" wrote: OK, I'll try those, thanks. David "Suzanne S.

Well, that's a good one to file in the old memory basket and keep in mind in
case this sort of problem comes up again! -- Suzanne S.
