You need to use Conditional Formatting, on the Format menu. Basically
you specify a condition and then choose the formatting you want to
apply if that condition is met.

Hope this helps.

See my answer on the other group.
[That's why netquette tells people not to multipost. It splits the
discussion, and confuses both the questioner and those who are giving
answers.]

Select Formula Is rather than Cell Value Is and in the formula you
should use semi-absolute references, e.g. something like this:

=$A1="red_value"

assuming that A1 is the cell with the drop down.

Hope this helps.
