cell highlight DCoon 12/16/2008 10:18:10 AM 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. DCoon

Re: cell highlight "Niek Otten" <nicolaus[ at ]xs4all.nl> 12/16/2008 2:46:39 PM 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. -- Kind regards, Niek Otten Microsoft MVP - Excel "DCoon" <DCoon[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:4A161324-9AD4-4F81-BC3E-D7D5F5EBA300[ at ]microsoft.com...

Re: cell highlight DCoon 12/16/2008 8:30:09 PM 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. "Niek Otten" wrote: [Quoted Text] > An often heard complaint.
