Dangerous fillcolor change, saving 2007 to 97-2003
Create an workbook in 2007, use standard fillcolor 'lightgreen'
Save it as Excel 97-2003 workbook. Open it in 2000. The lightgreen fill is changed into yellow. This change from green to yellow can give real trouble in interpretating color-indicators in spreadsheets. Is a workaround possible ?by changing lightgreen in to normal green ? |

Dangerous fillcolor change, saving 2007 to 97-2003
Hi,
I am having the exact same problem. One work around i have found is if you go to the styles in the band you can select (Good) which is a light green fill that doesn't have this problem of turning to yellow. It's not ideal but it is a work around that is slightly better than selecting a custom color each time. In the end we changed our whole colour co-ordinating system to avoid this problem.
