Active Cell Border Color

[stinso...@gmail.com]

The active cell border color in Excel is a light blue which is almost
invisible. How do I change this to a dark border that I can see?
Thanks

XL uses the system Highlight color - change it in System
Preferences/Appearance. Note that it's a system-wide setting.

If you don't want to do that, take a look at
