Color of Text in Formula Bar is Black -- Need Color

[JL20]

Hi all,

I just upgraded to Win 10 and Excel 2016 (64 bit), was previously on Win 7 and Excel 2013. I disable "allow editing directly into cells" within the options so that all my editing is done in the formula bar. In Excel 2013, when pressing F2 to edit a formula, the font would change color to match the temporary boxes bordering the cells the formula hit. This made it easy to check formula logic by looking at the colors. Now, there is simply black text in the formula bar, although the cells still get a temporary colored box around them when editing.

Is there a way to turn this feature back on? I've looking through all the options and can't seem to find it anywhere.

Thanks!

Disregard the above -- looks like the "allow editing directly in cells" option was disabled.
