OOPS!
Forgot to mention that you must also put the formula
=NOW()
anywhere on your sheet to force calculation.

I've tried using the following code or more than three conditional
formats, but it doesn't work.

Basically I want the background color to show red, green, yellow, or blue
if the text in a cell says the same thing.

"Red" text would = red background
"Blue" text = blue backgroung

Any hints you can give me would be much apprepriated - Thanks

***** - five stars to anyone willing to give some feedback
