You could right click your desktop and open Properties
In the dialog there is a tab for Appearance which might help
But you will be changing the appearance of all applications

You are correct, I do receive a darker border - but, I want the highlight
to
be even darker - is there a option to make it darker?

Thanks!

In 2007 how do you make the cells you select darker in highlight so it
is
easier to see what cells you have selected?

Thanks!
