I have an aggravating problem with Excel97 (SR1 installed).  The "automatic"
font color has set itself to a very dark purple.  In "Options", I've set the
default color to black, I've set the "style" font color to black.  Still,
when a new worksheet is opened and text or numbers are entered into a cell,
they show up as this dark purple color.  The color can be temporarily
changed to black for that particular worksheet, and saved, and when
reopened, it will still be black.  But, if the color is set to "automatic",
it's the dark purple.

Other than the fact that this can't be the way MSOffice intended, it's also
a problem when printing.  The printer responds by printing the worksheet in
the purple color instead of black, which is slow and uses up the blue ink in
the color cartridge.  Needless to say, I'm going through color cartridges
like crazy.  The OS is W95(a), and there was no problem in Office95.  My
printer is a Canon BJC4100.  The problem is only in Excel, Word's
"automatic" color is black.  Any help will be most appreciated!
