Selected cell highlighting has vanished...no shading now.
Suddenly, the shading in the selected cell is gone. Now, when selecting a
group of cells for entry, you can't tell which is the active cell. What happened..or more importantly, how do I fix it? |

Hello JR,
Don't get your hopes up, I'm just supporting your query. I have experienced the same thing and am wondering if it's because of one of Microsoft's wonderful automatin updates????? I'm surprised you have'nt had any response at all yet since your posting of 17th January! So, let's hope somebody our there, [Microsoft?] can solve this very annoying problem for us.

Well, I have discovered something...but it's not an Excel thing. The Display
settings matter. I have only one color choice for the overall system in order for the highlighted cell to appear, and it's ugly. I did upgrade computers at year end, so that may be what's behind it. Might not be an Excel problem at all. Thanks, Brymor... "Brymor" wrote: Hello JR, Don't get your hopes up, I'm just supporting your query.

OK, Fair Comment....
But, I still feel that there must be at least a reason, if not a cure for this problemt. If we're lucky, perhaps a Microsoft expert will see these posts and respond. so, let's keep our fingers crossed. Just as a matter of interest, what country are you in?

Hello JR,
At last! I've found the answer, [from MrExcel. www.mrexcel.com]. this forum is very good indeed. The solution is: Right click on Desktop/Properties/Appearance/Advanced, Then scroll down "Item" to find "Selected Items" and change the colour. It would appear that the original colour went too pale to show up after I changed the "Colour Scheme" to Silver. If you visit MrExcel you'll find the topic under,"Selected cell highlighting, GONE!"

Thank you Brymour! I'm going to get right on this. I'm in the US, Chicago
area. But let's share a Guiness anyway! JR "Brymor" wrote: Hello JR, At last! I've found the answer, [from MrExcel. www.mrexcel.com]. this forum is very good indeed.

Ok J.R., glad you got the message. Guinness sounds a good idea, although
it's an Irish brew, we Welsh are allowed to partake. All Celts together, you see! Best wishes. Brymor "JR1" wrote: Thank you Brymour! I'm going to get right on this. I'm in the US, Chicago area.
