I have the same issue. The color scheme of Excel 2007 is not good. The
found cell is practically invisible if your spreadhseet has gridlines. Is
there a way to change the background color of the 'found' cell temporararily
while its active (ie, the cursor is on it after a "Find")?

I cannot replicate this on 2003 or 2007.

I get a black selection border around first found cell and as I move through
Find Next the selection changes to next instance and that cell gets the
border.

When you normally select a cell do you get the black border?

After reading your response I went back and tried it and I guess I am NOT
getting the black border around the selection. It looks lighter than the
other cells but no distinquishing border. Any ideas how to turn it on?

Do you mean multiple-return results?

After running the Find All command, hit CTRL + a in the "found" dialog box.

Then hit the "fill color" icon.

When doing a "find" the found cell is highlighted white and barely visible.
How can you change the highlighting for this operation?
