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.

Loonia, see if this will help
