I am aware of how to shade cells in excel but here is one that has me
stumped. When I go to email a page out of my excel program (email for
review, not as an attachment) the email has a blue background. If I email
any other pages out of the program this does not happen...they simply have
the white background I am anticipating. I have obviously done something in
this one page but when I look at the spread sheet...the bacground outside of
my work area is white.

Any thoughts??
