Highlighting cells whilst editing
 
Hello!

For all you Excel experts out there - is there any way to highlight a cell
that is currently being edited in different colours or for that matter
filling the background of the cell with a colour? Once you leave the cell it
should revert back to the standard colour being used in the spreadsheet, ie.
black font/white background.

This is to make a big spreadsheet easier to edit and to find where your
current position is in the spreadsheet easier.

Hope that makes sense.

Thanks in advance for your help.
