I want Excel to check a range of cells (A1,AZ100) for a specific entry and
then fill that cell with a color without changing the entry.

Cells A1 to AZ100 contain randomized numbers betwwen 1 and 50.

I'd like to search this range for a specific number I choose, I suppose
using the 'search function' and 'find in this document' feature. Then fill
that cell with a color.

In short, search a range, find the target cell and fill it.

I'm using Excel 2002 and my knowlegde using it less than limited.
Can someone help me out here?
