Or, just select the word Saturday in the formula bar and change it's font
color and/or size to be different than the rest of the string........

It's not possible to change the fill color this way.

But you could put a rectangle from the Drawing Toolbar over the word,
remove the
border and color it green. But it's an ugly workaround.

So sorry, I messed up my previous post. I would like to highlight the
background of one word only contained in a cell. For example, my cell
content is: Today is Saturday. I want the word Saturday to appear with
a
green background (as if I manually highlighted it with a marker). Can
anyone
tell me how to do this? Thank you!
