Thank you Barb, but conditional formatting is not used.

This is simple input using a RED color on the font as described in the
original post. I'm just trying to carry the font color over to another
spreadsheet by reference.

If the font color was set with conditional formatting, you can format the
second sheet/cell the same way. If you want it to match, you'll need to do
something with VBA, although I'm not exactly sure how I'd approach it.

In the same workbook (Office 2007):

In Sheet 2, in Cell A1 I have the word "Michigan" in red font.

In Sheet 1 at Cell B3 I want to reference the above cell "=Sheet1!A1"

Michigan is displayed according to play, but the font color changes to the
default black. Is there any way to keep the color attribute???
