Find
 

When selecting a column and using the Find command, it is hard to see where
the cell is. The color of the cell and the highlight of selecting the column
are so close that it is hard to recognize when excel finds what I am looking
for. Is there a way to set it up where it selects the cell giving it the
dark outline when it finds the information I am looking for. Or maybe change
the color of the selected cells to be darket?

You're using Excel 2007, right? This is a common complaint. There isn't a
lot to be done with changing color schemes. You can get better highlighting
with some VBA code. Since you're posting in the New Users area, I'm betting
that kind of frightens you. So, you might look into Chip Peterson's
RowLiner add-in which has the code in it! Check out his page with it he

Good Luck.
