Default highlight row/column to track current cell ... and more!

I'm wondering ... is there a way for Excel to highlight the row and column
of the current cell?

This would make it easier to associate the current cell to its row and
column ... which often contain info related to the current cell.

I located the info at this link but these solutions are destructive to the
formatting of the rows/columns ... which is unacceptable ...

On widescreen LCD displays with high resolution, its very likely that Excel
users will have many many rows and columns ... and this current cell
tracking/highlighting idea would be very handy.

Frankly, I'm kind of surprised this wasn't already anticipated by Microsoft
.... hmmm.

It could be as simple as using an alternate color to draw the default cell
borders of the row and column of the current cell.

Thoughts anyone??
