My colors are gone

[Robert Shelton]

I'm working in a document I just took over from a writer who left. I want it to use my styles, so I imported all formats--page layouts, paragraphs, characters, color definitions, everything--from one of my other documents. Everything seems to be working as expected, except that when I apply a character style that's supposed to be red, the text disappears. I assume it's getting set to white instead. When I re-apply the default paragraph font, the text goes back to black.

I've checked the character definition and it definitely says red.

I've checked the document I copied the formats from, and it works fine there.

I've looked at the color definition for red, and it's red, all right.

I've tried applying the color directly, not through a character style. Same problem.

I've tried using green instead of red. Same problem.

I've saved the file as a PDF, and the text is invisible there, too.

I've shut down and re-opened Frame, just in case.

Why won't my colors work?

Frame 7.0p578 on Win 2000 Pro.

Thanks for any help you can give me.
