Find Feature
 
Hello,

I like the find feature, but sometimes I can't tell where the found item is.
Is there a way to set options so that when the text is located, the box can
be highlighted a certain color?

Thanks.

Thanks Teethless Mama,
a follow up question...
When I do that, I get a message that Microsoft Office can't find the data...
but I was testing it with a phrase I could see.
I tested it twice, once selecting the whole sheet using the little box in
the upper left column, and the other time by highlighting the whole sheet.

Ideas?
