Hi

I've an excel file with number of charts. Anytime I open
another excel
file in the same workbook, I find the colors on my original
sheet
change. Not just that, the color pallete also changes from the
standard
colors to something else.

It's really annoying - has anyone else experienced this? The
new file
has no macros etc - so it should not be messing up anything.


Pls help!

thanks
