This is my introduction I'm a Luddite who needs help

Hello, I have a worksheet with lots of data on it, resulting in a very busy layout. I have been using "FIND" to search for various numbers within the spreadsheet, however often times it is hard to see which cell "FIND" selects.

Is there a way to enable Excel to highlight the selected cell? For example could "Find" turn the cell yellow when it finds a match?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions


I found this but when I log in to see how to do this item be able to colour 'find' so the cell is more visible it takes me I don't know where and I can't see how to do it?
