How to Change Cursor Highlight Cell Colors in Windows Excel 2007

1. Open the MS Excel workbook that you want to edit.
2. Click on the 'downward-pointing arrow' next to 'Fill Color' under the 'Font' group. The 'Font' group is a group of font-editing buttons on the Office Ribbon (the main toolbar). When clicking on the 'downward-pointing arrow' button, a drop-down color menu is displayed.
3. Click any of the colors listed under 'Theme Colors' or click 'More Colors.' Click a color in the hexagonal color diagram and click 'OK.' The color that you select will be set as the new highlighting color when you click the 'Fill Color' button under the 'Font' group. Click any cell and then click the 'Fill Color' button to highlight the cell with the color you selected.
4. Click on a cell with a highlighting color you want to apply to other cells, double-click on 'Format Painter' under the 'Clipboard' group and then click any other cell to apply the same highlighting color to the cell. Continue clicking cells to paint them with the selected highlight color and press the 'Escape' key when you are finished highlighting.
