Default How to mouse function to highlight the current cell your using.

Within Microsoft office 2003, there is a feature available that is:
where I placed the mouse that cell, area or field would be highlighted.
Does Microsoft office 2007 have that feature available?
If so how do I activate & use it?

Do you mean that when you select a range of cells like A1:C3 they do
not appear with a different coloured background?

Excel 2003 has no such built-in feature.

Maybe an add-in like Chip Pearson's RowLiner.xla

Or maybe you simply mean the color is too faint to see the selection
properly?

That is a new "feature" of Excel 2007..........poor contrast.
