Excel 2003 Loses My Custom Color Palatte

[Gabe]

I have made a custom color palette for my Excel 2003 file. I have saved
subsequent versions of this spreadsheet with sequential dates. When I open
my most recent versions of the file, the color palette when I open the file
is completely wrong. Keeping this file open, I then open the original file,
both files magically have the correct custom color palette. I can not find
any documentation on why this is happening, and why opening up file will
change the color palette of different file. My IT department has no idea
either, so here is a challenge to all of you out there: Solve this riddle
and be better then my paid IT staff!

It is best to use a network software to recover files. ExcelFIX I use to
solve the problem of corrupt excel files and I have been very practical (
