I am trying to find out if it is possible to take an excel spreadsheet
and shade or color a certain box based on the text that I have in that
box.

For instance, if I have the word CREATE in 75 different places on a
specific spreadsheet, is there a function that will allow me to shade
that specific word green throughout the entire sheet.
