Excel 2007: Data filter Arrow

Hi - having read numerous complaints with the inability to easily change the
'blue arrow' when filtering data with the auto-filter in pre-2007 Excel. I
Personally never had a problem.

Having just bought 2007 - now there is not even a blue arrow. Can we get
something sorted - when working with large spredsheets and less than 100%
zoom, the little grey filter button is very hard to see and can lead to
issues when analysing/viewing data.

Even just getting the blue arrow back would be good - but can't the whole
column header be changed some user defined colour (i.e. bright and obvious!).

Hi Chris

Debra Dalgleish has some code which will colour the headings where filter
has been applied.
