I am sending this to several Excel newsgroups, because I am not sure
which one if the most appropriate. I apologize in advance for the
multiple postings. I have MS Excel 2000 (version 9.0.3821 SR-1). How
can I format only a selected character or number within each cell in a
specific range of cells? For instance if I have a cell containing
“1234234”, how can I format it so that only the 2’s are bold or are
colored? Obviously, I have a range of cells, and I want to format all
the 2’s occurring in any of the cells as either bold or colored.
Conditional formatting does not seem to allow me to do this, and I have
been unable to find a formula that will accomplish this. Can someone help?
Thank you.

See one solution in .public.excel

Most people read most of the NG's, so it is only necessary to post to one.
