Default excel

Thanks in advance. This is probably not a question which
is asked alot but i have a number of users opening very
large excel sheets. A few users suggested that it might
be easier to where they are in a sheet if when selected
the cell either highlighted with colored background or the
color of the selected cell's border changed to another
color. Is this possible and if so any help would be much
appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

See Chip Pearson's section on this:

Note that using this approach will probably eliminate the ability to use the
undo function in the worksheet.
