How do I perform a search in Excel that looks for a specific color of the
font? For example, I have a multi-page speadsheet and in some cells I've
changed the letters and or words to a different color, say red. How can I go
back later and search for all the places the color red is encountered?

Thanks

In Excel 2003

Ctrl - F to open a Find and Replace Screen
Click the options button to expand the view
Now click the Format Button at the top right
Go to the Font Tab
Select the text colour you want to find in the Colour: drop down box
Click OK without changing anything else to return to the Find and Replace
screen
Click the Find All Button
The cells containing that colour text will appear in the bottom of the Find
and Replace screen

Hope this helps!!
