Hello everybody,
this is new!
You know, sometimes Excel feels a little nostalgia of those moments when he drives you nuts, and decides to reiterate.
What about this time?
Since yesterday he decided to not to show cells fill color anymore, but!
• Only if you open pre-existing Excel files. If you create a new one, he shows you all the colors you want
• As soon as you open whatever pre-existing Excel file, the first fraction of a second it shows the colors of the cells, but then the color immediately disappear and the cells become white
• If you right click properties fill on any cell, it shows the preview of the color of the cell fill correctly in the window, but not in the real cell
• Sometimes, for example if you mouse-scroll, all the cells that are supposed to be colored (but appear white), became all completely black
• If you try to re-set the color of the cell or change color, for a fraction of a second it shows the color of the cell fill (just when you click on the color icon on the toolbar), but then the color of the cell fill immediately disappears and becomes white
• Other cells are fine, for example the header line of the table, which fill is light purple. Blue or yellow cells? Forget it!
• You can do whatever you want, even smash your head on the screen repeatedly
the cells stay white
All other Windows colors are fine, MS Word colors are fine, even new Excel files' cells' filling colors are fine.
Any clue of what spirit just possessed it?
Thank you.
