Find and Replace Highlight colour
When I'm using the Find and Replace function and hit find, Excel finds the cell but its very hard to see because of the highlighted colour. Is there a way to change the default colour? Thanks in adv...
- I understand your struggle now. I guess you will have to rely on the columns and row headers to help you detect the column and row of the active cell.
Option 2 is to use less vibrant colours in your cells.

mark_murphy_manluk Am having the same issue. This is something you can do that’s not great, but is a work around. Go to File>Options>Advanced. Scroll down to Show gridlines. Check that and change the color to a lighter color. I chose a light blue. Hit okay. Then try your Ctrl-F. Very easy to see the Find result. When you are done, want to print, or whatever, just go back and change back to black.
