Default Highlite row and colum cursor is in

Is there a way for excel to highlite the entire row and colum that the cursor
is in? I know that for example when my cursor is in box T 12 (coulm T and
Row 12) that the T is highlited and the 12 is higlited, but sometimes it is
still hard to see across the entire row. I was wondering if there is a way
excel can highlite the entire row and colum so that i can see easily what is
in the row and colum?

Put the following macro in Worksheet code:

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
Target.EntireRow.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
Target.EntireColumn.Interior.ColorIndex = 6
End Sub

Thanks for the add in. It is a cool tool, however it does not allow the undu
button to work. unfortunaly i need the undue button to work so this doesnt
seem to be an option for me. but thank you anyway.

Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste to that sheet module.

NOTE: this code will wipe out any background colors you may have currently in
use.

Will also make the UNDO stack unavailable.

In case you are happy with only entire rows highlighted, you may download
"workbook navigation" addins from below site.

http://in.geocities.com/shahshaileshs/

This addins allows the undo and possible to select different areas (range)
with mouse but then it will not highlight entire row.
