Selected cell border

When I select a cell using Excel 2007, the highlighting or border around that cell is missing. The only way to tell that the cell is selected is that the data is displayed in the formula bar.

How can I turn the highlighting on, this just changed recently.

Thank you for your help.
 
Hi ,


It does not appear to be a problem with Excel ; try changing the contrast and brightness settings on your monitor.

Firstly, Welcome to the Chandoo.org Forums


There are a number of ways to see which cell is selected


1. The Cells border changes (as you say this isn't working)

2. The cells color will change to a shade if you have a number of cells selected

3. The Upper and Left Headings (A, B, C..., 1, 2, 3...) will change colro

4. The Name Box, Just above A1 will show you the co-ordinates of the current cell or range


I would look at checking the Excel installation.


A. Firstly update Excel

Instructions here:

B. Repair Installation

Goto the Control Panel, Programs and Features,

scroll down and find Microsoft Office and select it

Select Change at the top

When the Microsoft office window pops up select Repair


If the above doesn't work, I'd uninstall and re-install
 
Thank you for your answer. I will try to repair or reinstall Excel.


I am excited about finding this site. I have read several of the blogs and it sounds like I will learn many new ways to use Excel.
