I've been reading the posts but still don't get it. I have data down columns
A:O for 2000+ rows. In Column J, I selected the entire column and applied CF
to it so that if any text is entered into a cell, that cell will turn yellow.
I'm lost as to how to get the entire row A:O of each cell in J which
contains text to turn yellow. I'm running 07. Can anyone help me in English
as to what the steps are or point me to the appropriate post?

Thanks in advance!
