How do I highlight the current cell?

I am working in a Excel spreadsheet that has quite a bit of information
and everytime I look away at a paper, it takes me a second to find out
where the cell was I left off at. Is there a setting I am missing that
will hightlight the current cell I am working in? I don't want to
actually highlight it and have it stay that way. I need it to move
with the cursor.

Thank you in advance.....

Not sure how much this will make a difference, but you could try setting the gridlines to a lighter colour. This will give you a little more contrast. Also, excel 2003 seems to have a thicker selection box than the previous version. Obviously, that's not reason enough to upgrade though!

tools -> options -> gridelines color

Maybe you could use Chip Pearson's rowliner addin:
