Highlight Cell on Focus

[Nigel Graham]

I need to create a spreadsheet for someone who is partially sighted. In
Lotus the cell you are in is in reverse video. This is what the person used
to use so I as this is not available in Excel I need some code that when any
cell is active it is in reverse video. i.e. black background and white text
or yellow background and black text would be better for his sight problems.
Any help would be appreciated.

Nigel,

Take a look at Chip's site.
This may work for you:

Thanks I knew someone would have already done it as it is a common problem
for partially sighted people thanks again.

Did you look at the accessibility option in the control panel under the
settings entry in the start menu of Windows (not Excel).

Theres a tab for display.

If you can get the operating system to do what you need it shouldbe better.

And depending on your version of Windows, you might have some other
accessibility tools (like a magnifier) built in.
