Default conditional formatting with text

I am trying to make three conitional formats on a cell with text.
The cell text will be one of the following:
Di......
Do.....
or something else.
If the text begins with Di, I wat the cell format to be red text.
If the text begins with Do, I want the cell format to be blue text.
If the text does not begin with Di or Do, I want the cell format to be black
text.

I set the conditional formatting as follows:
Cond #1: Cell Value is not between Di & Do then black
Cond #2: Cell Value is greater than Di then red text
Cond #3: Cell Value is greater than or equal to Do thenblue text

Condition #1 is overwriting condition #3. If I switch them, cond3 overwrites
cond1.

How do I make this work? Is there a way to say If Cell Value is greater than
Do....?
