Color Scale Issue 2007 to 2003
 

I am using Excel 2007 and utililize fill colors to color code various reports
which are sent to users running Excel 2003. I am saving these files in
compatibility mode before sending them out. I am having problems with the
fill colors I am using in 2007 not displaying correctly when viewed by 2003
users. Is there anyway I can utilize the Excel 2003 color scale in Excel 2007
so that the fill colors display correctly when viewed in Excel 2003?

Color Scale Issue 2007 to 2003
 

I haven't tried this, so I'm not sure if it will work, but my suggestion is:
have a user send you an excel file created in excel 2003. Open this file
using Excel 2007. Then, go to Tools - Options - Color tab, and highlight
the open worksheet in the "Copy colors from" dropdown menu. I imagine this
will get you a set of excel 2003 compatible colors.
