Excel 2003 will not display color fonts or color fill cells

I have recently upgraded to Office 2003 Pro and my Excel 2003 will not "fill"
cells with any color nor allow fonts to be shown in anything but black!

Tool bar buttons appear to work but will not alter sheets.

No color is displayed on imported worksheets created in earlier versions
either.

Been using Excel for years never come across anything like it!

Any ideas ? Known fault? Ideas welcome
