Thanks. I must be doing something wrong. I selected the whole worksheet
((A1 active) then selected "formula is" from the dropdown, then thped
=or(A1="call,A1="meeting") I then selected format and used the Patterns tab
and selected a shade. Nothing happened

I have a huge spreadsheet. I need to search for every cell that contains the
word "call" or "meeting" and highlight that cell.

How do I do this using conditional formatting?
