Have gridlines appear around mouse cursor in Excel

In Excel the gridlines clutter up the look of the screen. But they are very
useful in knowing where to click to make changes and select cells. I would
like to have the gridlines be invisible except in a floating area around the
mouse cursor.

Be careful what you ask for. This puts grid lines and borders around
whatever the mouse selects.

right click sheet tab>view code>insert this

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.Borders.LineStyle = xlNone
With Selection
.Borders.LineStyle = xlContinuous
.BorderAround ColorIndex:=3, Weight:=xlThick
End With
End Sub
