Thanks for that Nick. This is quite an odd problem as I have had a look at
the xml and sure enough colours are expressed using the sort of RGB notation
I am familiar with from the dark old days of html. What I do not know for
sure however is how the background colour for the cell is defined within the
interlinked series of files in the .xlsx archive. As a result, I cannot be
certain that I am looking at the element that affects the background colour
of a specific cell when I am searching through the xml.

Do you know how xmlbeans 'decides' whether or not it ought to create a
method as it parses the xsds? Does it assume that an element or attribute
should be represented by a method?

Yours

Mark B
