Inserts and color fill

I've created a spreadsheet to keep track of some work.
Throughout each month new entries are added as needed by
inserting rows and columns. I also use the Fill Color tool
to show work that has been completed. The problem is that
if a row or column is inserted between two adjacent cells
that have been filled with color the color stretches
across and fills the new cells that have been created in
between. It's more nuisance value than anything because
there is other notation absent so I know it isn't a
completed job, but is there a way to stop Excel 2000
spreading the fill automatically.

Thanks

I haven't used macros in excel before - I'll save this and
see if anyone else around here knows what this means. It's
gibberish to me.

thanks anyway

One way to insert an unformatted column:

Click on the heading of a blank column, to select it
Choose Edit>Copy
Click on the heading of the column where you want to insert
a new column
Choose Insert>Copied Cells
