Trigger Event on Format Change
 

Lots of posters, myself included, would like to trigger an event when a user
makes a change in sheet formatting, like changing the interior color of
cells. Of course, Excel doesn't consider changing cell formatting a
worksheet change. The only thing I can see that changes is the workbook's
saved status, and a change in that won't trigger an event. Any suggestions?

Excel before Excel 2007 definitely does not have the ability to
trigger and Event on a cell format change.

And I wonder what you would do if column B is selected and
the entire column is reformatted, which BTW is a lot more efficient
than to format the few cells in a column that you actually use.

Clear Formats will trigger a change event at least in Excel 2007,
but that isn't going to do you much good.

Following on with this thread, is there anyway to get the saved status of a
workbook into a cell?

What do you mean by status. If you mean if the workbook has been
changed then as soon as you put "Saved" into a cell, the workbook
will be in a changed status.
