NOTE: Is not that I want to color a cell. I know how to do that. What I'm
referring to is when you select a group of cells by dragging the cursor, for
example; you're on cell A1, click on it and drag the mouse down to A10.
When doing that in prior versions of Excel, the array of selected cells could
be identifiable by a shadow, so you could clearly see what cells you had
clicked on. But when doing the same thing in this new Excel 2007, the shadow
is so dim that you can barely see it. How can I change this so the shadow is
darker, or anything that temporarily colors the cell so I can see what cells
have I clicked on? Thanks,

Many people have raised this - the collective wisdom seems to be to
wait until (IF?) Microsoft does something about it in a further SP
release. Some respondents have suggested adjusting the contrast on
your monitor.

Hope this helps.

Wow; so technically you're telling me there is nothing to do? These guys are "great". Along with this failure, Excel 2007 has some others too that make me wonder if this is really an "improved" version or more like a set back. What were they thinking when they came up with these changes?

Thanks for your help, Pete!
