I am trying to work around the 4 condition limit in Xcel's conditional
formatting so that I can change the background color of each row in my
spreadsheet based on the text that is in the cell in the 3rd column of each
row. That cell will contain one of six alternatives such as "On Hold",
"Completed", etc. I assume that I will have to write some sort of macro to
format the rows. I'm less than a novice at writing macros using VBA, so
please keep it simple.

Thanks
