Excel 2007 - selected cells shading (not fill)

[orly]

nWhen I select rows and columns in Excel, the selected cells are too feint to
see clearly (much darker in previous releases). Is there a way of darkening
the default selected cells shading? I'm not referring to Fill colours and
patters - just the colour/shading used when cells are selected. Thanks

I am having the same problem after installing Office 2007, my Office XP was
much better. I can see the shaded cells in highlighted field, it’s very
annoying.

Thanks for hijacking my post, simply agreeing with it and copying it word for
word to a post of your own, thus depriving me of any useful help others may
have been passing on, you idiotic plagiarist.

Sorry Orly for voilating copy rights on your mail. My native language is not
english so i used your words to express my problem. Now you might have to
pursue this copy right violation with Microsoft but I do admit that I used
your words as I didnot knew how to put in writing to explain.

Not a very nice attitude - Zarrar found your words to be what he needed to
express his problem succinctly and lucidly. You should take some pride in
having composed a meaningful, understandable statement rather than berating
him for using them. If you are aware of his post and my reply to it, you
have your answer: no real way until Microsoft changes the way it all works.
But I'll add a link to your "original work of art" here as emphasis to my
suggestion to the Excel group that some changes in this are need to be made.

Oh - and he didn't hijack your post: hijacking occurs when someone
interjects a differrent topic into a thread discussion that causes the
discussion to stray away from the original topic before a solution or 'final'
answer is provided. So far, we're still on the basic topic of funky coloring
of selected cells in Excel 2007.

If Zarrar didn't hijack my post then why are none of the responses I have
received remotely related to it? You hijacked it yourself by introducing your
own nerdish definition of the word "hijack" and trying to give me lecture of
the semantics of the English language - so by your own volition, you have
hijacked my post. So your quote "So far, we're still on the basic topic of
funky coloring of selected cells in Excel 2007." is invalid. You are clearly
a nerd who like to collect badges by stalking people on the net and in blogs
to interject with your own feeling of self importance without actually
contributing anything useful. Before you bother to reply, I looked up the
word "Nerd" in a dictionary and it said "See Jlatham - a person who collects
MVP badges by butting in". Zarrar apologised for hijacking my post, which I
accept, but for your unwarranted intervention your mother should apologise
unless the midwife slapped her when you were born.

I shall refrain from offering any comment or assistance to any future posts
from 'orly'. I am certain your winning personality shall garner you all the
help you deserve around here.

Oddly I don't see an acceptance of Zarrar's apology in this discussion, and
by the way - it is faint, not feint.

And to save you the trouble of looking at those other discussions again (I
presume you've seen them and already know this, but I will try to make
certain here) - other than changing the default color scheme, there's no
changing the coloring of selected cells until either Microsoft offers another
color scheme to use or someone comes up with an add-in to deal with the issue.

No, it's feint as in "feint ruled" referring to intensity of hue not faint as
in "Jlatham felt faint when he realised what an smug idiot he was". I take it
you could be American or just an illiterate product of Blair's Britain. If
you "refrain from answering" any of my posts again then that will suit me
just fine as you simply added to the hijacking of my post and not provided
anything concrete. Enjoy collecting your Brownie badges.
