Default Excel 2007 change colour when "find" function is used

Hi,

We recently updated to excel 2007. When I use the find function, I cannot
see the cell that the system is telling me that it has found what I am
looking for. Is there anyway to change the colour so that there is a greater
contrast. I did not have this problem in prior versions of excel.

Thanks

No one else had the problem in earlier versions either, and everyone does in
2007, and this problem and related lack of contrast issues in 2007 is one of
the biggest complaints. And one that Microsoft hasn't addressed at all yet.
I'm sorry, I don't have a real answer for you - I've seen suggestions to
change the palette of colors to help some, but the specifics of the process
elude me right this minute. I'll see if I can't dig up something on this.

One thing you can try is the active cell highlighter (or the RowLiner) that
can be found on this page at Chip Pearson's site:
