One way around this (not sure why it is happening) is to use the 2007 equivalent of Edit / Go to..
Special Visible Cells only (not sure of the exact steps to do that in 2007) prior to coloring
the cells.

A colleague has a problem whereby when he colours selected rows when the Autofilter is on, and then
removes the filter, not only his selected rows are coloured - a large selection is coloured.

We are using XL 2007 and this behaviour does not happen when I try to replicate it.

Can anyone advise?
