Version: 2004
Operating System: Mac OS X 10.5 (Leopard)
Processor: Power PC

I'm going through a spread sheet using a the 'Find' function and the selected cell highlight color is difficult for me to see. Wondering if there's a way to change the highlight color to something more 'bold', something that will 'grab' my eye?

Thank you

Hi,

Yes,

Use System Preferences > Appearance > Highlight Color
Adjust the highlight color as desired. Quit Excel and then open Excel
again. Excel uses the Operating System highlight color.

You're by no means limited to the 8 colors in the main list ‹ Select
"Other..." & pick whatever you want.
