Has always worked fine. I started playing around with settings in an effort to improve screen readability SOmetimes if you set a background colour, and leave the foreground on "auto" rather than setting a foreground colour, MS office gets confused while LibreOffice displays ok suggest you select the whole table, and set e.g. white background and black foreground I agree with Andy Burns but if that does not fix things I would also suggest selecting the entire spreadsheet and selecting the Font type again. Possibly the white on white, as it appears, is due to a font that MS Office does not have or support but LibreOffice does. Fonts are generally supported by Windows, not by the programs running under them. I tried some of your suggs - no improvement - just made things worse. One thing really surprises me - the lack of the grid lines as well. So the overall table suffers the same problem. xxxxx Open Word, click in the table. Then click on Table in the menu bar, SelectTable. The whole table should now be highlighted. Click on Table in the menu again and select Table AutoFormat. Choose from the list and see if any of them is what you want your table to look like. Also look at Format in the menu, click on Background and select No Fill. Actually, I might try that first. If I select Background and pick the black color, it duplicates what yours looks like. Clicking on No Fill corrected it, bringing back the white background and black letters (I'm also using Word2003). HTH, It did. I thank u Tom. Ur explicit instructions caused me to play around again with those menus/selections, and this time I made them work to undo my mess. Thanx again xxxxx Happy to help; glad it worked for you :-) |
