Perhaps you have to re-boot before changes will be seen.

Depends upon how you are set up PropertiesSettingsAdvancedCompatibility

I have mine set to "apply changes without re-starting"

Gord,

I did that and nothing happen. This makes it hard for me to tell what cell
is active.

That would depend upon your Windows Appearance Theme settings.

Sounds like you're using Windows Classic settings.

Right-click on Desktop and PropertiesThemes. Change to Windows XP to get the
orange row and column headings.

If not running Windows XP, try a different Theme until you get what you want.

Sorry if this is a very dumb question but, how do I change the color for the
row and column heading. The color in my excel is light blue and when I am in
a active cell it show the active cell two to three shades darker. I notice
that other users their active cell is orange. How do I got the orange color
for active cells?
