    Highlight cell find and replace function

    Hello,

    I was just wondering if it's possibe to highlight a cell/word when the find function (ctrl f) is used, and if it is how would one who doesn't know much go about doing it?

    Many thanks.

    Hi jeremy,

    You need to be little more specific. Are you saying about worksheet function "Find" or are you referring to ctrl+f because when you do ctrl+f, the found cell will always be selected / highlighted.

    Thanks for replying DILIPandey,

    I'm referring to ctrl+f, I know the cell is selected but my boss has asked me if it's possible to highlight it a differenct colour as she struggles to see.
