MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / March 2008novice excel 2007 user needs help
on previous versions of excel, when you hold down the left mouse button and drag over multiple cells, the cells would have a shaded effect so that you could tell what cells you had highlighted. excel 2007 (currently using trial version) doesn't seem to do that. this is especially irritating when you use control and choose cells in different areas of the worksheet and can't remember which ones you have yet to click on. is there some option that i can change to fix this? thanks for any assistance on this. Jamie, That is by design, and there is no setting that will change it.

Is there any reason why someone would not want that characteristic? Is the new way somehow better, and I'm just griping for no reason? > Jamie, > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > > > thanks for any assistance on this. There is confusion somewhere as my Excel 2007 acts as you wish, graying cells , and so did my 2003. Please recheck your reply Bernie.

Jamie, It might be that the trial version does not do that, but Excel 2007, as well as 2000, 2002 and 2003 all do exactly what you require.
