I can't see the results (shading) when doing a "find" in Excel. V
When doing a "find" the found cell is highlighted white and barely visible.
How can you change the highlighting for this operation?

No found cell is ever highlighted but It should have a black selection
border around it. Do you mean multiple-return results? After running the Find All command, hit CTRL + a in the "found" dialog box. Then hit the "fill color" icon.

After reading your response I went back and tried it and I guess I am NOT
getting the black border around the selection. It looks lighter than the other cells but no distinquishing border. Any ideas how to turn it on?

I cannot replicate this on 2003 or 2007.
I get a black selection border around first found cell and as I move through Find Next the selection changes to next instance and that cell gets the border. When you normally select a cell do you get the black border?

No Border
Yes, when I manually select a cell I get a black border. When I do a "find"
the cell turns white but no border.

No Border
Do you already have borders from FormatCellsBorder applied to the cells or
just the normal gridlines? If you have borders applied, the selected cell will not have the heavy outline. Gord On Tue, 24 Mar 2009 09:50:03 -0700, hilreal wrote: Yes, when I manually select a cell I get a black border. When I do a "find" the cell turns white but no border.

I have the same issue. The color scheme of Excel 2007 is not good. The
found cell is practically invisible if your spreadhseet has gridlines. Is there a way to change the background color of the 'found' cell temporararily while its active (ie, the cursor is on it after a "Find")?
