Hi

When you are in the process of applying conditional formatting, you are
looking at the regular "Format Cells" dialog box which is not a dialog box
specifically for conditional formatting. Conditional formatting cannot
change the row height or column width of a cell - hence the font names and
font sizes are greyed out. Presumably heavy borders change the row height or
column width.

For more formatting options, you'll probably need to use code.
