I want to change the outline color of the active cell indicator to something
other than black, so that it is more distinct on screen, since I often have
black gridlines in my worksheets. How can this be done?
 
I had a need for this as my spreadsheets are often large. This is a
free add-in that someone was kind enough to tell me about. This forum
and others like it I frequent have hemlped me so much. Here is the
link to the add-in: http://www.cpearson.com/excel/RowLiner.htm. There
is detailed information about this add-in (RowLiner), and also
screenshots. the download is at the bottom of the page. in addition,
you also have the ability to customize the settings. I love this
add-in. :)
 
This is even easier. Change the color of your gridlines. Tools/Option/View and select Gridline color. This will make the active cell border turn a different color. Try teal. The active cell border turns red. Cool!
