Try this:

In the formula bar, use the mouse pointer to highlight the text.
Right-click and select "Format Cells" from the popup menu.
Select the font color and bold and click the [OK] button.
Press [enter]

Does that help?

Say if I want to do a search and replace: for example "Marriages -
Public License" and I want to replace the word "Marriages" with the
same word only in red and bold, can I do it without the whole thing
being red and bold? I tried to do it but the whole thing turns red and
bold and I only want the one word changed.

Any ideas on how I can do that?

Thanks
