Why Excel outlines cells that change?

Help Me

Lately, Excel seems to outline cells that I change.
The outline seems to remain until I cause the window
to be update -- for example, scrolling the cells out
of view, then into view, or minimizing, then maximizing
the window.

If this is an option that I can disable, please tell
me how.

FYI, I am using Excel 2002 (10.4302.4219) SP-2.

Unfortunately, I am using an MS Win server that someone
else controls. So I do not know what changed to cause
this new outline behavior.

Danke schoen. That sounds promising. Unfortunately,
Track Changes is already disabled, and toggling it on
and off did not fix the problem.

My suspicion is that this release introduced a defect
whereby the Highlight On Screen feature of Track Changes
is always enabled :-(.

Can someone confirm that theory? If I am right, can
you point me to a MS known-problem report of the problem
and/or a patch id that fixes it.

Note: I am unfamiliar with looking at the MS known-problem
database and patches. So I would appreciate navigation
instructions, if it is not too much trouble.

Alternatively, of course, if someone can offer another
suggestion for how I can avoid this "feature", I would
appreciate it.

Following Frank's lead, I have looked at all the various
option menus, and I did not find anything that looked as
promising as Frank's suggestion.
