How do you change the fill color in cross symbol in Excel, or how do I change the cross. Red cross type cross that is white and black and is hard to see.

  • You can change the size and also the colors and make it bold as well.
    You can do it all so it will be more visible for you.
    You can either select the cell that contains the symbol or just the symbol itself and apply the changes.

      The cross is the symbol from the mouse. I go to mouse in settings and red cross symbol isn't shown. The pointing arrow and text symbol are there but no red cross symbol. This symbol only appears in Excel. When I move the mouse of the excel grid, my pointer comes back, when I go to the grid, the cross black lines white fill reappears. Appreciate the help
