I have an Excel file (Edited with MS Excel 2007) in which odd rows are colored Gray.<br/> When it is displayed through Excel Web Access webpart, Gray background color is rendered as Black (ExcelRenderer.aspx file returns 'background-color: Black' css for particular cells ).<br/> <br/> The funny thing is that the problem appears only in Intranet zone. In Internet zone Excel file appears correctly.<br/> <br/> This problem persists only with gray shades. When i apply greenish or custom color, the background is rendered fine.<br/> <br/> Is it Sharepoint bug (how do i submit it to MS?) <br/> or <br/> some configuration issue (how to resolve it)?© 2009 Microsoft Corporation.
