I create a table without problem, but when I come to type in it, the cell fills with a navy highlight, and I am unable to see the text I am writing, until clicking outside of the cell. I do not have this problem at work, so I wondered if I've clicked an option somewhere to cause this.

Any help correcting this issue would be greatly appreciated!

Check under the "design" tab, the settings under there, it should be under there.

It's not an automatic background colour/shading... just when I click in a cell and start typing, it becomes highlighted. Clicking outside of the cell returns it to the standard colour.

I checked out the design tab, but find nothing relevant. Appreciate the response, though.
