Tracking my cell location

[Guest]

In Excel, whatever cell location I am in, the column and row headings are bolded and they stand out. I work in large worksheets that have many rows and columns of information and am looking for a simple way to keep myself from getting lost. Obviously I can freeze panes, but I am looking more for a feature that would highlight the entire row that my selected cell is in. As I'd down-arrow through the worksheet, each row would be "temporarily" highlighted to help me keep my place. Does anyone understand what I'm searching for? Can anyone tell me if there is such a feature?
