This is sheet event code. Right-click on the sheet tab and "View Code"

Copy/paste into that sheet module.

If I have a previously saved worksheet that was saved with black text/font
and I want to keep track of cells I have edited and ones I need to edit by
having the ones I edit change to red, how can this be done without formatting
the cells as I go along or clicking the text color shortcut button for each
cell.

Thanks.
