Changing selection color
How can I change the cell/row/column selection color? The default light
blue/grey does not show up well on certain monitors. Thank you for your attention. |

Changing selection color
Tony,
I that's controlled by the Windows environment. To change it bring up your Display Properties dialog, select the Appearance tab, click on Advanced. Then in the item dropdown choose Selected Items. Change the color to whatever you like. Then OK your way out. Mike "Tony" wrote: How can I change the cell/row/column selection color?

Sorry Mike, I should have mentioned that I'm using Excel 2007 so the Display
properties is under the Advanced selection for Excel Options. There's no place there to change any colors. Thank you for your response, though.

Changing selection color
Hi again,
I have found a way to work around this problem for the time being: if you set the fill color for the entire sheet (or just certain areas) to a light grey, the selected cells are much easier to differentiate. At least this works for my flatscreen. You might have to experiment a bit with the fill colors to find the best one.
