Font Color does not apply in word 2013

I use font color to insert notes in student papers.  None of the font colors are applying, displaying or saving.  I'm working on a Lenovo Thinkpad Ultrabook S230u.  The problem does not appear on my ancient HP using Vista Home Premium and the primary second copy of my Office 365 subscription. How can I make font color "stick" to the S230u laptop version of my work?  Due to traveling issues, this is of vital importance. Thanks for any insight, advice (commiseration!)

Answer
  1. If you are working in Outline view, make sure that you have "Show Text Formatting" checked in the Outline Tools group on the contextual Outlining tab of the Ribbon.
  2. Make sure that you have not selected a High Contrast Windows theme.
