Here is a modified version of the find next code Tom is referring to.
Give it a try


Code
-------------------
Sub FormatFoundValues()
Dim entry As Range, foundentry As Range, firstaddress As String
For Each entry In Range("J2:J30")
Set foundentry = Cells.find(what:=entry.Value)
If Not foundentry Is Nothing Then
firstaddress = foundentry.Address
Do
With foundentry.Font
.ColorIndex = 5
.Bold = True
.Italic = True
End With
Set foundentry = Cells.FindNext(After:=foundentry)
Loop While Not foundentry Is Nothing And foundentry.Address < firstaddress
End If
Next entry
End Su
