Thanks for your response.

I contacted the sender and have now received the next monthly spreadsheet
but the background colours are still not displayed. The sender says they are
on the copy she attached to the email. Very odd. I am using Excel XP the
same as the sender, is there a setting in Excel that could cause the problem?

I wouldn't imagine that Outlook could be this clever.

I would suggest that you ask for the spreadsheet to be checked at
source and e-mailed again.
