Default Help with VLOOKUP

Hello All Excel Guru's:

I have another quick question that I need assistance with that pertains or
deals with conditional format.

I have a list of names in one column and I need to search another list
(range) to see if that name DOES NOT EXIST in that list or range. If it
DOES NOT Exist, then to change the color of the cell. Listed below is the
my example:

A B C D E F
1 Names Semi
2 Hulk Hulk Storm Spidey Batman
3 Storm Storm Batman Ironman Spidey
4 Spidey IronMan Phoenix Batman Hulk
5 BatMan Spidey Batman Storm Hulk
6 SuperMan IronMan Hulk Spidey Phoenix
7 IronMan IronMan BatMan Hulk Storm
8 CatWm
9 Phoenix
10 Kitty

A2:A10 is a range called Names
C2:F7 is a range called SEMI

In the above example, the following three (3) names should be colored out
(CatWm, Superman, and Kitty) because those names DO NOT APPEAR in the SEMI
range.

=vlookup(A2,Semi,1,False) but I keep getting #N/A <-- I do not think my
formula is correct and also, do I put this in the conditional format so that
I can color out the cell.

I'm not very strong in using VLOOKUP, any and all help is greatly
appreciated.

Argus
