If you are using Excel 2003 or earlier then you are limited to 3
conditional formats in each cell.

I have a column in which each cell has the option to contain one of six
different words. Based on which word is selected, I need 2 to 3 other cells
in the same row to change to a yellow highlight.

For example, if cell C2 contains the word flat, then I need cells H2 and I2 *
to become yellow.

But, If cell C2 contains the word 2FC, then I2, J2 and L2 need to be yellow.

Please let me know if this can be done - I have 6 different variables.
