TOOLS FOR SALES REPS

Excel problem with a shared file. Help!!!!?

We have a sales report that is shared among a number of reps. We all use Excel 2007. When one of the reps saves a cell in one color it appears a darker different color to everyone else. It is just one person’s computer that is doing this. Any ideas on what’s up?

When he pulls up the color palette it is a pale blue. It appears dark blue to all of us. We can then go in and change it to that exact pale blue on the palette. As soon as he saves though it turns back to dark blue for everyone else.

I know the colors don’t seem important, put on all of charting, graphing, sales tools, on everything we are represented by a color. We can’t just change it.

That is wierd

Sometimes, saving the file in Excel2003 format while you are in Excel2007 generates problems like this

make sure you are using the xlsx format

If so, then I would then recommend doing this (Even though it sounds risky)

Copy the personal.XLsb file from one of the other reps computers to his and try again to see if this will go

good luck
