Worksheet Cell Doesn't Highlight When Cursor Is In It
hobbyhorse You can change the type of cursor, cursor size, its color, and it breath to better suit your needs and requirements.
Simply put, every time this happens, (In Windows 10 and 11), I just save the file, close it and re-open it. None of the right click stuff has ever worked for me.
MicIsWorthless Thanks! I haven't had this problem in quite sometime, but will consider this as a quick option if it happens again.
- The question becomes "HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE CURSOR TO HIGHLIGHT THE CELL IT IS IN?"
Thanks, but I know HOW to change the looks of the Cursor--that's not the issue. For example: say you drag your mouse to highlight the word "Cursor" in the above line; it highlights in a certain color, right? What if it did not change color? You couldn't tell if the word had been selected or not. THAT is what's happening in Excel: if I mouse over to say, cell 4D and I get a phone call so I answer it; I come back to Excel when I'm done and can't find where my cursor is because the Cell (4D) is not highlighted. See?
Same problem, fixed by going to Page Layout, Then clicked on Selection Pane, then clicked on new window on right side where it said Text Box and it showed the cell I was in by highlighting the border in green. Never noticed it was green until today.

AshaKantaSharmaI'm having the same problem. It just appeared from out of nowhere. I suspect my worksheet is hung & possibly corrupt. This file is not at all big.
