Unwanted Color Fill When Emailing

[Steve in Boston]

I am having a problem in one Excel 2003 worksheet when I e-mail that
worksheet using the E-Mail Button. This is the button that attaches an
Outlook header to the top of the worksheet and provides space to type
Introduction text in addition to To:, CC:, and Subject:.

The problem is that when I send the worksheet, the Outlook 2003 e-mail
message contains the spreadsheet and message with all background and unfilled
cells filled with a blue color. This includes the background to the
Introduction text, the border around the worksheet, and the unfilled cells
within the worksheet. Any cell having a color assigned is unaffected, but
all areas of the e-mail that I would consider uncolored have this blue
background.

This seems like a corruption issue with the worksheet, however if anyone
knows of a setting to remove this, it would be appreciated. This does not
happen with any other worksheet. Thanks.

Steve.

Two rather weak suggestions:

Check the "Format/Sheet" submenu to see if "Delete Background" is a choice.
If it is, you have a background on the worksheet. Delete it and try the
email again.

Also, see if you have modfiied the Normal style or defined and applied any
other styles. Look at the "Format/Style..." menu.

Finally, see if the worksheet has any unexpected conditional formatting
applied.

HTH,

Eric
