Hi,

I am using excel 2016. When I select "ctrl-c" to copy something, it no longer shows a highlighted border around the selection that was selected. Is there anyway to change this back to the default? This seems very strange.

Thanks

How to fill five years of quarters?
Type 1Q-2023 in a cell. Grab the fill handle and drag down or right. After 4Q-2023, Excel will jump to 1Q-2024. Dash can be any character.
Is it possible your Visual Effects got turned off?
(I am posting location for Windows 10 - might be different for others).

Control Panel - System - Advanced System Settings - Advanced Tab - in the Performance Area select Settings. Make sure "animate Controls and Elements inside windows" IS checked.

Otherwise - I have seen mention of a Skype Toolbar (browser add-on) that causes issues. Or you might try a quick Office Repair.
