I am running Excel 2007 on Windows 7.
I have a template (MyFile.xlt), and when I try to save a new workbook (Excel
97-2003) based on the template, the compatibility checker pops up. I have
tracked the issue to some cell coloration that I applied to one sheet. If I
change the cells to no color, then it saves without compatibility issues.

I have colored cells many times in the past with Excel2003 with no issues -
why is there a problem with it now?

Thanks for any advice,
