Cell colour

[John]

Hello all,
My apologies if this is not the right forum for this question.
Due to a need to format my hard drive and re-install both Windows XP
and office 2003, I now find that in excel, when i click on a cell to
change its colour, nothing happens - yet when i do a 'print review'
the cell colour has changed - can anybody please enlighten me?

many thanks

Les
