CTRL+F contrast problem - can't identify found cell

[ajm]

i can not see the found cell in a highlighted column when using Ctrl F. I'm using Windows XP, Microsoft Office 2007 Professional. When I highlight a column, the highlighted color is so light that when I do a "Find" CTrl+F command and it finds the value I can't see where the value is highlighted. Is there any way I can darken the highlight used when selecting the range in which you want to search?I Changing the color scheme for the entire program doesn't help. I have resorted to doing a Find All for the moment. Any other ideas

You could look in the Names box, left of the Formula bar, to see the address of the selected cell. Or observe that the row header and column header are both highlighted.

Names Box - yes could do that. looking for the highlighted row and coolumn headers - won't work when the column is highlighted as the range before searching. if the whole column is selected, all row numbers at left are highlighted even after searching.
