Dangerous fillcolor change, saving 2007 to 97-2003

[tampoera]

Create an workbook in 2007, use standard fillcolor 'lightgreen'

Save it as Excel 97-2003 workbook.

Open it in 2000. The lightgreen fill is changed into yellow.

This change from green to yellow can give real trouble in interpretating
color-indicators in spreadsheets.

Is a workaround possible ?by changing lightgreen in to normal green ?

Hi,

I am having the exact same problem. One work around i have found is if you
go to the styles in the band you can select (Good) which is a light green
fill that doesn't have this problem of turning to yellow. It's not ideal but
it is a work around that is slightly better than selecting a custom color
each time.

In the end we changed our whole colour co-ordinating system to avoid this
problem.
