Don't use this code. Most code like this will clear the clipboard when you
have copied a range.

I copied the code below from another thread here to highlight the
current row and column. It works great but kills the ability to copy a
cell or range. The "marching ants" disappear as soon as I change
cells. Any ideas of how to overcome this?


Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim iColor As Integer
'// Note: Don't use IF you have Conditional
'// formating that you want to keep!

'// On error resume in case
'// user selects a range of cells
On Error Resume Next
iColor = Target.Interior.ColorIndex
'Leave On Error ON for Row offset errors

If iColor < 0 Then
iColor = 36
Else
iColor = iColor + 1
End If

'// Need this test incase Font color is the same
If iColor = Target.Font.ColorIndex Then iColor = iColor + 1

Cells.FormatConditions.Delete

'// Horizontal color banding
With Range("A" & Target.Row, Target.Address) 'Rows(Target.Row)
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=2, Formula1:="TRUE"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = iColor
End With

'// Vertical color banding
With Range(Target.Offset(1 - Target.Row, 0).Address & ":" &
Target.Offset(-1, 0).Address) 'Rows(Target.Row)
.FormatConditions.Add Type:=2, Formula1:="TRUE"
.FormatConditions(1).Interior.ColorIndex = iColor
End With

End Sub
