SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Excel, if you use custom Chart Fill colors to format a chart, the elements that are formatted with these colors may be colored with black when you close and then re-open the workbook.

WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, create custom Standard Colors rather than custom Chart Fill colors and apply the custom Standard Colors to your chart.

STATUS
This problem does not occur in Microsoft Excel for Windows 95, version 7.0.

MORE INFORMATION
To create custom colors, click Options on the Tools menu, and click the Colors tab.
