Default Changed grid line color, now cell borders don't show

I'm using Microsoft Excel 2003. I changed the grid line color to a
lighter shade of gray. Now the borders of cells (merged and unmerged)
no longer show up, regardless of what color I set them to. Is there a
an arcane workaround for this? Thanks.

Did you fill the area with a background color--even white?

If yes, then instead of using the gridlines, maybe it's time to use Borders--or
remove the fill color.

Actually, the problem is that the proper border options have to be
clicked *after* selecting the line width & color. So the preview of
the borders in the border customization window is very important.
Thanks anyway.
