This is the ideal place to use conditional formating.
Just go to Format|Conditional formating and set it up as
you want.

I have a spreadsheet that we use to track budget
numbers. I need a
macro that will change the text color to red for any cell
that is less
than the specified budget number. EX: Cell C5 is
180.00. I want any
cells that I specify, (say C6-C12), to be red if the
value is less
than C5. It sounds simple, but I just cannot seem to get
it. HELP!!!
