cell highlight
 

I have updated from Office Student 2003 to Office Pro 2007. In Office 2003
you could see the chosen cell as it was a light shade of blue. That made it
easy to see the cells you were in and were formatting. I can't seem to figure
out how to get that configuration in 2007. I hope you understand my problem?
Everything else seems to be getting better.

Thanking you in advance for any help you can give me.

An often heard complaint. The selection is in fact shaded, but it is very
difficult to see.
Tilting the screen slightly may make it easier to see.

Niek, thanks for the prompt reply.

Do you know of any twiks to darken the shading???? I did try to tilt my
monitor but that failed to give me any relief, I still can't see anything
except the column and row headers are highlighted.

Sorry for the blank reply. I'm new to this venue, and I couldn't find the
input area. I hope this is the correct location.
