Default Highlighting The Active Cell

This is a Macro for 'Highlighting The Active Cell' that will change
the background color of the ActiveCell to yellow anytime you select a
new cell, either with the mouse or with the arrow keys.


Private Sub Workbook_SheetSelectionChange(ByVal Sh As Object,
ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Static OldRange As Range
On Error Resume Next
Target.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 ' yellow - change as needed
OldRange.Interior.ColorIndex = xlColorIndexNone
Set OldRange = Target

End Sub

The author says that if one wants to make the active cell appear in a
special color, use the following this code in the
Workbook_SheetSelectionChange event of the workbook. BUT, I am not good
with VBA or Macros yet so I do not know what he means ... How do I get
this Macro to work?
