I have a spreadsheet that populates a number of cells. The user has the
option to change the cell values. Now, ifthe user changes a value, I want
the
value to be of a different colour.

Say the code-generated value of cell B1 is 137 (black colour)
if the user changes the value to 200, I want the colour to be red

Is this possible?

Thanks in advance...
