Gareth,

Conditional formatting can do what you want. But as you say, it will revert
as time passes (but as it's not greater than today at some point, isn't that
appropriate?).

Just use a formula like, =I1TODAY() in CF.

Columns I and J on my sheet are date columns. I need the font to be blue
if
the date is greater than today. The dates will be both typed and copied
in.

Can conditional format be used, or would font colur go back to normal as
time passes?
