It does shade a selection, tho it is a rather light color. Try adjusting the
brightness/contrast on your monitor.

MS Excel 2007 -- Difference in appearance from Excel 2003.
MS Excel 2003 will "highlight" all of the cells in a selection. Excel 2007
does NOT. It only highlights the Row and Column Headers -- not the cells.
It does NOT show which cell is the Active Cell, except by coordinates in the
Formula Bar. How do I make this highlight the entire selection, especially
if I am using a Named Range?
