Article ID: Q75039

SUMMARY

Microsoft Excel versions 2.2 and 3.0 will not display the 3-D look of the title bar when running under System 7.0 in 16 gray scale mode. Launching Excel may also disable the color windows for other applications. To work around this problem, use the 256 colors or grays options in the Monitors Control Panel device (CDEV).
