Default Make ZERO red and bold

Hello

I am trying to set up a worksheet where totals produced by a formula
equaling zero will be red and bold.
I have looked at the number formatting, but that just does negative numbers
in red. I have also tried to read through the help files, but could not find
anything. Part of the reason for that is that I just don't know where to look
for an answer.

I am thinking that this might require programming, but I am not familiar
with those abilities in Excel. Is that what the Visual Basic button/window is
for? Would this require VB code? That is OK with me. I would like to learn
how to use that. *I have programming experience. But, right now, I just don't
know how to proceed. What is my next step to get a formula quantity equal to
zero appear red and bold?

If you use Excel 2000 and up, you can use "Conditional formating". To
access it, go to menu Format -- Conditional Formating

You should be able to handle the condition part.
