I have a long macro that creates a merge page and formats
it. It puts various conditional formatting in place.
One thing it does stopped working, and I don't know why.

It is the second conditional format below. Note how
similar it is to the first one. The first one works.
The second one used to work.

I did put a breakpoint in there and look, and
the conditional format was working at some point after
the submacro ran but before the full calling macro
completed. I can't figure out what's turning that off.

Also, and this seems important, if I select the range and
go into conditional formats manually and select the
formula thta isn't working, and simply press Enter,
then close the conditional formatting dialog, the thing
works as it should have all along.

Well, this code is long, but the only important parts
are the "Formula1" on the 4th line and the second instance
about halfway down. (The third one, near the bottom,
also works fine, as does the first one.)

Any ideas would be appreciated.
