I realise that this has come up on this group before but I couldn't
find an answer for it. On my computer, selected cells in Excel 2007
are not shaded at all - I'm not saying the shading is faint, there is
literally no shading. See this picture as an example:

Selecting multiple cells is even worse; can anyone guess which cells
are selected in this picture?

Hope someone can help.

Have you set Windows to a high-contrast setting?

No - are you saying that would help or that it might be causing it?
It's controlled by Group Policy so I'd have to have a word with IT
(who have gone home) to try it out.

I am using high-contrast to get sharp screen captures for my new book. No
fill colour shows on the screen with this Windows setting
best wishes
