Hey everyone.

I am having a problem with my Excel 2002 worksheet where if I delete any column, the column at the right of the book (number 256) becomes formatted. The formatting is a fill pattern that was previously used on part of this worksheet.

I can remove the fill formatting by selecting the column and choosing no fill from then toolbar but everytime I delete another column, the formatted column reappears.

Can anyone tell me why this is happening and maybe how to prevent it?

Thanks,
Dustin
