On some worksheets that have rows highlighted in a color, when I type in a
plain white row below some cells will pick up the color above and I end up
with a checker board across.

No matter how many times I may format a row to be free of any color, when I
go to enter information then the same cells will bleed the above colors.

Just briefly, I color rows certain colors to symbolize if the infomation
has gone out to its recipients and if it has come back fully reviewed. But
it is agravating if certain cells are doing this 'bleeding' before and I
constantly have to adjust.

Can anyone give me tips.

Do you have any conditional foramtting for those cells which is turning them
colour?

I have rows that are shaded a color. I would like new rows I insert to not be shaded.

I unchecked "Extend data range formats and formulas", but new inserted rows are still shaded.

I unchecked Tools/Auto Correct/Auto Format/"Include new rows and columns in list" but that didn't help either.

How can I make the default fill color for new rows inserted between two shaded rows be "no fill"?
