Default Conditional Format issue

I have hundreds of cell spread throughout my worksheet which have condition
formats which contain "PTO" which I need to change to "FRD". I can not
just blow away the conditional formatting for these cells and start over
because these cells contain other conditional formatting. Is there any
(easy) way to make this change to all cells that contain the conditional
formatting in question?

the information you have provided, leads me to believe you can just use find
and replace, if you need more information on find and replace type find and
replace in your Excel help files.

Thank you, but it appears you can not use Find and Replace to search within
Conditional Formats.

You can select all the cells and change the one condition from "pto" to "frd"
without affecting the other conditions.

Assuming you have multiple conditions as in condition1, 2 and 3
