I voted for the suggestion of a crosshair highlight so the current cell is
more visible.
A twist to make this even better is to KEEP the highlight active even when
the focus (in Windows) goes to another program. in the newest Excel, the row
# and column letter are highlighted for the current cell. the preferred
Excel would highlight the ENTIRE row and column (crosshair) and when I click
on another running program window, the crosshair remains in Excel. Currently
the highlighted row/column (that exists now) disappears when the window focus
changes to another program. try it and you'll see what i mean. I want to
work with my other program using the current cell's data.
