Excel 2007 : Compatability Issue

[bilalbajwa]

When i do conditional formatting using a specific farmula and save my document, it gives me a warning and after I close the file and then reopen it. Conditional Shading is allover the column where i applied conditional formatting. I have to go and again apply the conditional formatting.

CONDITIONAL FORMATTING > MANAGE RULES > EDIT RULE > OK > APPLY .

Please see the attachment for the warning it gives me when i save the file. I am trying to save in default file format i.e. excel workbook.
