Running Excel XP SP2, I have a file that has various colors for the background of the cell. I have one person that views this
file using the same version of Excel but the background are the standard white with black text. I figure there has to be a local
setting that causing this, but I can not figure out what it is. If I log on to his machine (Windows XP SP2) the Excel file shows
up correctly. What's causing this?

Thanks,
Enrique
