David,

Thanks. Is there a particular edition of an instructional book for Excel
2007 that you would recommend? I wasn't real thrilled with the one I had
for
Excel 2003, but at least the Help facility in Excel 2003 was a whole lot
better than the Help facility within Excel 2007. Thank God you and others
here are so helpful.

It means that you won't apply the format unless all 3 cells have values
in
them. If the cells (or some of them) are emplty, it won't try to do the
formatting. If you want the CF test doing regardless of blank cells,
then
omit that part of the formula.

Biff,

Thanks, but I'm not clear why the command now needs to include the
AND(COUNT(a1,b1,c3)=3 statement prior to what used to be the =(c3=a1
+b1)
statement.

What are we now telling Excel to do in that first portion of the
statement?

Click New Rule again and repeat the above proccess for the second

In Excell 2007, I want to be able to set a formula for a single cell
(c3)
such that it turns red when its numerical contents are =not(a1+b1 =
c3)
and
the cell turns green when its numerical contents =(a1+b1=c3). How
do I
set
both of these condiions for a single cell in Excel 2007?

Thanks,

Karen

Christine,

Yes. In A1 go to Conditional Formatting. Change the Cell Value is
option to Formula is. Enter

=B1="Your Text"

Click Format, Font select the color you want. Click OK, OK.
