Default IF statement

Is it possible to use an IF to change the color of the text of a cell. E.g.
I want to write "If the value is above 0, then make the text color black. If
it isn't then make it red."

Take a look at "Conditional Formatting" in XL Help.

"Conditional Formatting" is the feature you want.........highlight the cell,
then do Format ConditionalFormatting and follow the menu to set up your
conditions.........
