Whenever a cell is Active, it is empahsized. In XL97 it simply puts a heavy
border around the cell, in newer versions it may enphasize by some other
method. When you "click-off" that cell to another cell, the emphasis
follows. If you wish to permanently color a cell, then highlight it and do
Right-click FormatCells Patterns and choose a color..........or, you
can also color cells by using the ConditionalFormat feature...........

How do change a cell's interior color when a first gets the focus and when it
losses the focus. In other words when I first click on a cell is changes
color and when I click elsewhere it change color.
