Highlighting Columns

[wrkingurl]

Does anyone know how to make the highlighting show up better? I highlight a
column, and it is only 1/4 shade darker than the original. I can't see it!
I do not have bad vision! I have altered my contrast, brightness, and even
tried my windows background screen color.

By the time I can get the monitor adjusted to see the excel column, I can't
see any other applications that run on my computer!

I forgot to mention that it is Excel 2007

This "fix" was posted a couple of days ago.

You can add or modify a key in the Registry if you are comforatble hacking
in the Regsitry.

Best to create a Restore Point before attempting any changes.

Start>Run regedit.exe

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Excel\Options

On right-side pane right-click on "Options6" and modify>decimal number from
32 to 16.

If you don't have an Options6 you must create it by adding a new DWORD value

Edit>New>DWORD

Rename to Options6 and set decimal value to 16

Selected cells on 2007 will be Black
