When using excel,the highlighting color of the active cell is so faint (a very light blue), I can't easily see which cell is active. How do I change the border color on the active cell to something brighter? Thanks.

Excel picks this up from System Preferences. If you go to AppleMenu> System
Preferences> Appearance - Highlight you can select from a palette of preset
colors or use Other... To select a color of your choice. However, that's a
global system setting which will apply as the highlight color in all
programs.

Have you restarted Excel since you made the change to the system
preferences?
