Fill colour, print preview

Hi,
I have problem with my Excel. When I change fill or font colour there is no effect, but if I check print preview or print document colours are there. On the screen main spreadsheet it shows black text and no fill colour. I tried to remove settings files (c:\program files\microsoft office\office11\xlstart and ...document and settings\application data\microsoft\excel\xlstart). Also in excel i tried to restore default settings by using detect and repair option in help menu.
Thank you for your help

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
