Excel "Find" - Cannot see the outline on the "find" result. Can I change this outline or fill?

Excel FIND function - I know how to use however when I CTRL F - I cannot see the outline of the BOX on my spreadsheet.  Can I change the outline color or choose a "fill" for the box containing the "FIND" result?

If you're on a multi-monitor setup, you could try setting this in options:

If you're not using 2+ screens, here's some other things to try.

 

1. Run Excel through Safe Mode - Check the appearance of the Find menu in Safe Mode. Close/Re-open Excel in normal mode to check again. Sometimes running the app through Safe Mode irons out these quirks.

2. Toggle the Windows the resolution.  Switch the resolution away from the current resolution, let it take effect, then switch it back.

 

Hopefully, one of these solutions works.
