Excel/Outlook 2007 - When I send a workbook the recipient doesn't see any formatting!

I attach and send an excel 2007 workbook to someone using outlook 2007 and the recipient opens the workbook and finds that there is no formatting.  

What causes this?

What verison of Excel does the recipient have?

What format are you saving your Excel workbook in?

I think is very unlikley that Outlook is doing anything to the attachment.  Have you tried zipping it first to disprove this?

Hi brothertruffle880

Perhaps a work around:
Have you tried protecting the excel file?

In excel 2007 go to Review tab and select Protect sheet. There you can protect your format and add a password.
You wouldn't happen to be saving to an earlier version by default?

Sender and receiver are both using Office 2007.
Okay, but what format is the Excel file saved as?
