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...
- Jun 04, 2021I 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.

SOLVED THE READABLE FIND (Search) in and Workbook. JUST SELECT ALL (TOP LEFT ARROW), NOW, the entire FIND AND REPLACE box is now highlighted. So easy to see.

Thanks for your soultion, but this many steps for such an easy possible fix seems unacceptable. Do better Excel.
