Colors change from '07 to 03 in Excel
I am working in Excel 2007 how come when i send my workbook program to someone who is working in Excel 2003 the colors that i selected are not sticking they are totally different colors when the other person opens my workbook? Example I used a baby blue and they are opening in a teal color (yuck). I am saving this workbook in Excel 97-2003. What should I do to have this workbook open in the same color i have choosen? -- broop ------------------------------------------------------------------------ broop's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=26 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=36986 |

Broop, Microsoft in their wisdom only included 10 of the original colours on xl2007, you can try this http://tinyurl.com/5klbq4 to create a 56 colour chart! You can of course try using the format painter to keep the original colours (copy/paste special formats). I think its a case of you have to live with it until your users upgrade or purchase a copy of xl2003 and do all your design work in that! -- Simon Lloyd Regards, Simon Lloyd 'The Code Cage' (http://www.thecodecage.com) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Simon Lloyd's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=1 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=36986 |

I have tried this and I got it to work. Office Button Excel Options Save Colors Enter the custom codes you want to create your color OK When i sent the program to someone using excel 2003 my colors were there when they opened the document. -- broop ------------------------------------------------------------------------ broop's Profile: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/member.php?userid=26 View this thread: http://www.thecodecage.com/forumz/sh...ad.php?t=36986 |
