    Shared Workbooks - Color Quandry

    Hello all,

    First time in this forum.

    So, I have a shared workbook (Excel 2010) that I have multiple users accessing on a network. I am running into problem where User 1 saves data with one of the preset colors in the styles, for example the preset green Good. The problem is that when User 2 views the saved changes, he sees the green as a lighter shade of green for some reason. Has anyone ever encountered this? All of my users are using v. 2010.

    Is it possible to change this? Is this Excel's way of trying to distinguish between users?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Peter

    I've seen this problem reported before within the last year either on this forum or this one
    http://www.mrexcel.com/forum/excel-questions/

    Unfortunately I didn't make a note of it, try searching for terminal, pc or possibly searching for posts I have made though there will be a lot.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.

    Thanks Special K

    Incidentally, I'm an idiot! I decided to look at the original data that I was given, which ended up being Excel 2003 and I forgot to convert it so it explains the reason why the colors were off slightly.

    Problem solved.
