Excel 2007 using control panel display settings
 

Why won't excel 2007 use the control panel display settings for highlighting
a selected text, cell, or group of cells? In previous versions my control
panel settings for selected text color worked in Excel. It still seems to
work in Outlook. I tried a macro to highlight my selection, but then when I
use the repeat function on a new group of cells it tries to repeat the macro
rather than the function I want. The default color of selected text or cells
in Excel 2007 seems to be nearly white and indistinguishable from
non-selected cells.
