I need to create a spreadsheet for someone who is partially sighted. In
Lotus the cell you are in is in reverse video. This is what the person used
to use so I as this is not available in Excel I need some code that when any
cell is active it is in reverse video. i.e. black background and white text
or yellow background and black text would be better for his sight problems.
Any help would be appreciated.
