[QUOTE="horizon180, post: 992738, member: 142611"] Hi there. My office is in the process of switching from PC to Mac. There are 15 of us, and 5 have now made the switch, but a lot of the company documents and templates remain in MS Office formats. This seems like it might be a small export error somewhere, but this is what I am facing: On the Mac 1. Open XLS document template (with macros) in Numbers. 2. Edit document. 3. Export to XLS file. 4. Email XLS file to a PC. On the PC 5. Open above XLS file in Excel, works fine, start editing. 6. During the edit process, if you copy a sheet to a new sheet or new book, Excel goes and changes all cells that didn't have a background colour (90% of the sheet), into having a RED background. 7. This problem is not local. When repeated through Numbers on the other Macs in the office, the above porting causes the sheet background to turn RED in Excel on all PCs in the office. I cannot find any references to this on Mac Forums, so I am writing a new thread. Apologies (in advance) if there is already a thread with the same problem that I just couldn't find. Looking for a solution, haste appreciated. Thank you. H180 [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
