Not a very nice attitude - Zarrar found your words to be what he needed to
express his problem succinctly and lucidly. You should take some pride in
having composed a meaningful, understandable statement rather than berating
him for using them. If you are aware of his post and my reply to it, you
have your answer: no real way until Microsoft changes the way it all works.
But I'll add a link to your "original work of art" here as emphasis to my
suggestion to the Excel group that some changes in this are need to be made.

Oh - and he didn't hijack your post: hijacking occurs when someone
interjects a differrent topic into a thread discussion that causes the
discussion to stray away from the original topic before a solution or 'final'
answer is provided. So far, we're still on the basic topic of funky coloring
of selected cells in Excel 2007.

Thanks for hijacking my post, simply agreeing with it and copying it word for
word to a post of your own, thus depriving me of any useful help others may
have been passing on, you idiotic plagiarist.

I am having the same problem after installing Office 2007, my Office XP was
much better. I can see the shaded cells in highlighted field, its very
annoying.

nWhen I select rows and columns in Excel, the selected cells are too feint to
see clearly (much darker in previous releases). Is there a way of darkening
the default selected cells shading? I'm not referring to Fill colours and
patters - just the colour/shading used when cells are selected. Thanks
