XL98: Color Formatting Is Lost when You Save in WK3/FM3 Format (178176)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition
This article was previously published under Q178176 SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel 98 Macintosh Edition, if you save a workbook in the
Lotus 1-2-3 WK3/FM3 format, color formatting in the workbook is converted
to black and white even though the WK3/FM3 format is designed to allow you
to save color formatting.
NOTE: This problem does not occur in Microsoft Excel 97 for Windows.
WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, save the workbook in the Lotus 1-2-3 WK4
format.
If this problem has already occurred, manually reformat the affected cells
in the file, and then save the file in a format other than the WK3/FM3
format (for example, the WK4 format).
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the Microsoft products
listed at the beginning of this article. We are researching this problem
and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it
becomes available.
