    No Colour Formatting in Excel 2013 and Word 2013

    Hi I have just installed Office 2013 on a new laptop.

    I have set up two user profiles on Windows 8.1 (64 bit).

    On my profile all spreadsheets that I open (whether my own spreadsheets or templates) have lost all formatting (fill / shade etc) in cells.

    However if I open the same spreadsheets from my wife's windows profile the formatting is as expected.

    Really confused. Can't see what is wrong.

    Can anyone help me resolve.

    Appreciate your time.

    Paul

    Is it an xls (97-2003 format) or an xlsx?
    I just went to 2013 myself and all my previous spreadsheets seem to be ok

    You haven't by any chance set up a high-contrast theme on your profile?
