In Excel 2007, on WinXP SP3,

I would like to be able to change the format of the currently active
cell to make it more easily visible at a quick glance. Currently, the
active cell is just outlined in a thick black line. Is there a way to
change conditional formatting to change the fill color and/or the
outline color of the currently selected/active cell?


Thanks in advance,


magmike

Maybe changing the gridline color could make a difference...
Excel Options | Advanced | Display options for this worksheet | Gridline color

Also, Chip Pearson has code and a free add-in that not all like at...
