Question on colored rows

I am building a new Excel file using some data brought over from an existing file.
The existing file has every other row in color, but I don't want the colored rows in the new file.
So far, I have been unable to remove the colors from the rows I copy over to the new file.
I've tried the No Fill setting many times, and it does not change.
I even deleted a colored row, with the intent of manually typing in the data with no color, but when I inserted a new row, the new blank row that it created was in color.
Nothing I have tried has been successful in getting rid of the colored rows.

When you copy and paste over to the new file, you should use Paste Special | Values, rather than just Paste, so as not to take any formatting across at the same time. If you are copying across formulae, then you should use Paste Special | Formulas

Hope this helps.
