how to remove shading of shapes in Excel 2007 (with an .xls workbo
 

Excel 2003 did not shade (color) shapes when added to existing graphics (.jpg).
Excel 2007 using the old workbook (compatability mode) does shade (color)
the shapes. I would like to get the old behaviour as it, (shading), uses a
lot of
ink and gets in the way of reading the text information on the shape. Is
there any
way to get Excel 2007 to NOT add shading (color) to the added shapes?

Should I be using plain text-boxes instead of shapes?
