Excel for Mac 2008 - formula highlighting problem

I used to use Excel for Windows, and then switched to Mac (Office 2008). One feature seems to have disappeared -- when I highlight a cell that contains a formula, in the old version it used to lightly highlight the cells referenced in the formula. That way, if it was a simple SUM function for example, I can immediately see which cells were being counted. Now, it doesn't highlight... I have to look at the actual formula and refer to the column or row numbers themselves. OR, I can hit Ctrl-U to edit the formula, and only then are the cells highlighted.

I'd love it if the cells would highlight by default, without requiring me to be in edit mode. Is this possible?

Thanks.
