Office 2007 Colors
Hi there,
I have spreadsheet that I created in Excel 2003. It is used by many different people. I now have Office 2007 and I have been asked to make a number of changes and additions to the current spreadsheet. The original colors from 2003 don't seem to be available in 2007. When I save the file in the 2003 format I get a message saying that Excel will chose the colors that are similar to the ones I chose. Is there a way to access the color pallete from 2003? or, Is there a way to preview the "similar colors" that Excel is replacing mine with so I can at least try to avoid some of the more hideous colors from 2003? Could they not have just added a theme called 2003 pallette so that the colors would be available? I can't be the only person with this problem. |

You're not the only person, as I have run into problems too. I don't understand why Microsoft decided to get rid of a lot of the "traditional" colors used. Particularly, they removed (or made it much harder to get to) the blue color used in Outlook for replies. In general they removed the bolder colors from the pallette that make it much easier to read. Honestly, at this point I'm not concerned about why they did it, I just want the colors back on the default pallette! :-) And I can't figure out a way to do that. Anybody have any suggestions? |
