I'm running W 2000, and it is not the background colour, it is the actual colour of the text. Black on White alright, about 80%, except for the starting dates (blue) and the finishing dates (red). The dates are not results of a formula, but typed in. For important events I like to set the whole cell contents in colour. So far nada. Zilch. Up to now I have opened the files in sxc format, and saved them back in sxc, since I usually get rid of previous versions of OO after a little while. I have now saved a file in ods, to see if that helps, but to no avail. As a test I opened a file in 1.1.0, and voila, all the reds and blues are there... Beats me.

I don't have any difficulty changing the text colour (or : the background colour, or both at the same time) and have the : colours show, in OOo 2.0.2 on WinXP. : : What OS are you using?
