Excel 2007 Colours

[atlus]

I have created a spreadsheet with a new 2007 colour scheme and sent it for an opinion to a co-worker. She told me she was unable to SEE some of the headings. This is becasue the OLDER version of Excel (not sure which version) she was using didnt support the colours. I have "filled in" a number of cells, then proceeded to label those cells using a white font. When the spreadsheet was opened she did NOT have those colours, thereby leaving the cells BLANK given the font was in WHITE against a "new" colour backdrop which was never visible using the older version.

My question is - does this mean I have to chang e the entire colour scheme to accomodate users who dont have those {colours} installed on their versions . For me this is a huge issue given the amount of people who will be having access to this spreadsheet


Thanks in advance

I think you have these options:

• Change the color scheme so it looks acceptable to people with the standard Excel 97-2003 color palette
• Save the existing workbook in Excel 97-2003 format and work on it thereafter in compatibility mode.
• Upgrade all your users to Excel 2007
