Re: Compatibility mode & colors

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Someone else will need to help you with that if they have already decided to take the route you have. We took the other route as the 2003 and earlier versions are moving to the unsupported arena.

The compatibility pack is for Office 2003 users so they can open 2007 files. I use Office 2007 to create custom spreadsheets for users all over the place and don't expect them to have installed this. I got a complaint from a user that the colors look all messy in my spreadsheets.

I thought using compatibility mode in 2007 would make everything compatible in 2003. It does--to some extent. While my users can open the file fine, it looks really different especially when it comes to colors.

I really need to be able to use 2007 so that it will look exactly the same over previous office editions. I want to limit what functions/colors/features it shows me that are only compatible with previous editions. How?

Thanks, again.

I have a spreadsheet that I am working on in Excel 2007 but in compatibility mode. Problem is that when I open it in 2003 the colors are all different and it looks different than in 2007. How do I work in 2007 and make sure everything I do will look the same in excel 2000-2003?
