How do I change the color for cell selection in excel?
I just started using Excel 2007. In the older versions when I select a row,
column, or specific group of cells, Excel would highlight the group in a certain color. In Excel 2007, it simply surrounds the selected group of cells with a thick black line. I've tried going into Excel Options under Advanced but couldn't find how to do this. Can you assist me in changing this feature? |

However, it does use a color, a very, very, very light blue(u can see this if you try to highlight a cell that is colored dark blue). I cannot figure out where to change this.. HELP!!!, ITS DRIVING ME NUTS!!! |

Just wondering if you ever found an answer to this. It's a horrible selection color and my eyes always strain to actually see what has/ hasn't been selected. Changing the color scheme for the display doesn't seem to affect Excel 2007 at all either. I'm not impressed with MS Office Suite 2007. |

The funny thing is when I reinstall Excel (repair), it fixes the problem temporarily and then randomly loses the highlight again! Very annoying. |
