Greg,

Copy the code below, right click the sheet tab, select "View Code", and paste the code in the window
that appears.

In another cell, put the formula
=AVERAGE(A1:A3)
to force a calc event whenever a value in A1:A3 changes.

HTH,

Private Sub Worksheet_Calculate()
Application.EnableEvents = False
Range("A4").Value = "The rate is special and equals " _
& Format(Application.Average(Range("A1:A3")), "0.00") _
& "."
With Range("A4").Characters(Start:=13, Length:=7).Font
.FontStyle = "Bold"
.ColorIndex = 50
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub

I want to change the font style and color of the word "special" in the
character string to bold and green. I understand it can be done with event
macros. Thanking you in anticpiation, .... Greg
