Greetings, Is there a way to change the border color of the cell that is selected by a hyperlink? Still not sure if this is a clear question... I have searched for this answer with no luck - (not even sure if I know how to ask the question which may be the problem)

I am not asking about changing grid line colors, that is simple. but what I am trying to ask is about the border (or the double-lined box as it were) that appears around a cell when it is activated (or selected) by a hyperlink.

For example, I place an auto shape square on the worksheet and assign cell "F5" to it. When I select or "click" on the autoshape, cell "F5" has a box appear around the cell showing me that this is the active cell, and any text I type in will be entered is here. I have about 300 of these cells already setup so sometimes it is hard to pick out the active cell. Is there a way of making this border a different color, like red or something? Thanks
