A spreadsheet program (not sure which) I used to use would highlight the row
that the cursor was on when working in a spreadsheet. This helped in
scanning associated data in that row. Does Excel have this capability? I'm
not talking about changing the format of a row, just having it highlighted in
the view on screen as the cursor is moved from row to row.

Follow this link to Chip Pearson's page, where he has a Row Liner you
can download.

Hope this helps.

This is the excellent and complete code ever I have found.
I really appreciate Bob's work.

The Row Liner program is awesome! It is very obvious where the cursor is, and this helps me with FIND results, which I use all the time! Thank you so much for the great tool!
