Do you perhaps have High Contract selected in the Accessibility Options in
Windows Control Panel? -- Suzanne S.

WORD 2003 color fill button does not allow selection
I am also having this problem. It was working this morning and now I'm also
getting the grayed out boxes with no colors. I also don't have High Contrast enabled. Everything else looks fine. If this helps, before I was getting the grayed out boxes with no color, the little arrow that opens the button up wasn't working. I would click it and nothing would happen. Same with all the buttons that have those arrows. I removed the non-functional buttons and put them back on and they seem to be working again except now when that fill button opens, it shows no color options. I tried rebooting as well. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank you! "unicorn" wrote: No, it is not selected. "Suzanne S.

WORD 2003 color fill button does not allow selection
Fill Color and Line Color on the Drawing toolbar apply only to drawing
objects. To apply color to text and tables, you must use borders and shading. The Shading Color and Border Color buttons on the Tables and Borders toolbar have the same icons but a different purpose. -- Suzanne S.

I can understand what you are saying.
But now there are 2 of us that were keying text in a document and used the button for highlighting the text with color and it suddenly stopped working. There is an issue here! "Suzanne S.
