Default Font and Size Disabled in Conditional Formatting ??

Chip;

Thanks for providing an alternative explanation.

Please whenever your time allows look at my recent Thread in this DG:
"Transfer Multiple-Font Cells ??".
It can't be that difficult ? or Is it ?

Kind regards.

And the reason behind disabling those items for Conditional Formatting
was that they (MS) assumed that changing attribute that would modify
the column width or row height should not be allowed in CF. Not
everyone agrees with this, but there it is.

Yes

If this is the case, then why they are there in the 1st place


It's the same user form as FormatCellsFont tab. They probably figured that
since they already had a user form for this it would be easier to use the
same one and just disable those items when called for conditional
formatting.
