in Excel: How do I change "selected cells" highlight color?
When I select cells in Excel the shading is so light (blue) that I can barely
tell which cells are selected from those that are not. Can I change the background color of cells that are selected? Thanks. |

Assuming Excel 2007 this is a known problem and as yet no patch for it.
I don't have Excel 2007 but I have read that playing with your Contrast can help some.

Yes, it is Excel 2007. Sorry for the oversight, and thank you for the
information. I'll keep my eyes 'peeled'. Thanks, again. "Gord Dibben" wrote: Assuming Excel 2007 this is a known problem and as yet no patch for it.

Gord has told you all there is to know.
The very faint colour is a pain for some and seems to be monitor related (and a bug!) best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP http://people.stfx.ca/bliengme remove caps from email "treenaj" wrote in message ...

Darn... I was hoping that a fix had been found or created since October... oh
well, I'll just have to keep my fingers crossed that something will come up. Thanks, Treena "Bernard Liengme" wrote: Gord has told you all there is to know.
