Excel/Outlook 2007 E-Mailing Issue

centerNegative · #1 08-27-2009, 10:58 AM

I'm using Office 2007 at work and we're constantly e-mailing spreadsheets back and forth. Normally I would just do this from Excel's mail feature but when I do so, for some reason the worksheet I e-mail shows up to others with a dark blue background making it all but unreadable. The worksheet in Excel is plain white, with no cell fill colours, so I'm at a loss.

So, I've also tried copying and pasting worksheet selections into Outlook message bodies as Excel embedded objects, and again, they look like total crap when received by others - like a double offset print. The text is blurry and smudged and it generally looks like a really bad GIF image, and is almost entirely unreadable.

I'd really appreciate some insight into either of these issues. I'd like to be able to just e-mail the selected worksheets from Excel as opposed to pasting them as embedded e-mail objects, because it cuts down on the size of the e-mail, but I can't figure out why it would randomly change the sheet colour for other people when it looks fine from my end.

Also, I have checked my Outlook stationary, and I'm using no template with no background colours. The e-mail message's body is still white, only the background of the Excel sheet is changed to dark blue for some unknown reason.

Thanks all for reading!
