How do I save data with different colored fonts in EXCEL 2003?
 

I have a rather large spreadsheet with some data set to different colors that
mean different thigs to those of us that use it. For some reason, these
color changes are not being saved when I save my spreadsheet. When I open my
spreadsheet again, the colors are gone.

Which version of Excel are you using? Are you sure that you're saving
the spreadsheet as Excel (and not as some other file type which Excel can
read)? Is the resultant file keeping a suffix of ".xls"? If not, then the
data is being saved but not the formatting specifications. Next time you
save the file, use "Save As" and make sure that the "Save as type" box
contains "Microsoft Excel Workbook."
