Change selection color
Teddy,
Before you go to trouble to attempt to change the selection color, try messing with the controls on your monitor. Try changing the brightness and contrast, and any other similar controls you may have. Don't mess with the geometry controls (picture size, pincushion, tilt, etc.). The selection color is quite visible normally -- quite dark enough. If that doesn't pan out, go into the driver of your monitor and see if it has a gamma adjustment, which might be set too high. -- Earl Kiosterud www.smokeylake.com Note: Top-posting has been the norm here. Some folks prefer bottom-posting. But if you bottom-post to a reply that's already top-posted, the thread gets messy.

Change selection color
I need the answer to this question as well. It is not a monitor issue. I am
using a Laptop and the selection highlight in Excel 2003 is MUCH better than the very light hightlight in Excel 2007 and I am using the same Laptop. Any guidance here would be greatly appreciated.

It is a known issue and it is by design, maybe they just didn't think about
it -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Bob Oxford" wrote in message ... I need the answer to this question as well. It is not a monitor issue.

Change selection color
Maybe..but I'd like to hear what Microsft has to say and if there might be a
workaround or a registry setting that could change this because it is enough to make me go back to Excel 2003 and to not recommend this version to my clients if it can't be fixed. Thanks.

Then you should talk to MS, this is a newsgroup with volunteer users helping
other users You won't get an answer from MS here -- Regards, Peo Sjoblom "Bob Oxford" wrote in message ...

Bob
There is no newsgroup that is directed to and read by any MS people who would be in a position to make the changes you'd like.
