Formatting lost when excel 2003 .xls file is saved in excel 2007

A

Anamika

I am facing a strange issue with some of my clients using excel 2003 files in
excel 2007. When the file is saved as .xls/.xlsm format in excel 2007 and
re-opened again, all the formatting of date and number fields as well as the
color of the cells is lost. When i try to do the same on my machine, the
original format is retained.

Any views on this issue is appreciated.
