Excel doesn't provide such functionality directly. You might be interested
in my RowLiner add-in that does something quite similar to what you are
looking for.

See http://www.cpearson.com/Excel/RowLiner.aspx for details and download.

In Excel 2007 when you select cells it highlights them with a very faint
blue
fill. Is there anyway to change the colour or depth of the fill as I have
a
user who finds it difficult to see which cells have been selected.

Thanks
