Excel '02 Font Color Not Printing

[the1nk]

Hey,
One of my customers is using Excel 2002, and is having quite an interesting problem. He uses the format on numbers that shows negatives as "($12.65)" Now, when he prints, it prints as black. The same tone of black as if the text was just black. If we put the background color [of the cell] as red, it prints fine and dandy. However, any red font color does not print. I assume other colors will not print either, but have not yet tested that functionality. Even if we manually apply the red font color to another cell, it does not print.

So, my assertion is that his copy of Excel is not printing the font color, and I have no idea where to find a setting for that.

Any ideas, folks?

(btw: Thanks a million for any views/replies, you guys have already saved my --- a few times )

Ah.

Sorry - I have never heard of such a thing before. :-\ I am new to this "posting for help" concept though. I generally just use message boards/forums for chit-chat, and never knew that Cross posting could be viewed as a negative thing. Now, I know, and I wish to thank you for pointing it out to me.

In other news: The issue has been resolved. It was a new printer driver that was behaving oddly on my pc.

Thanks for your time.
