Highlighting Text within Cell
If by highlight you mean to set up a different background colour for
part of the cell, then this is not allowed in Excel - a cell can only have one backgound colour. Hope this helps. Pete On Jul 29, 6:26*pm, OutlanderRaven wrote: Does anyone know how to highlight part of a text within a cell. *I've tried but it does not seem to work. |

Do you mean that you'd like to have 2 different colors as background pattern
in the cell? Impossible as far as I know. -- Wigi http://www.wimgielis.be = Excel/VBA, soccer and music "OutlanderRaven" wrote: Does anyone know how to highlight part of a text within a cell. I've tried but it does not seem to work. |

Highlighting Text within Cell
You can change the font of part of a text, as in choice of font, style,
size, colour, underline, subsript, superscript, strikethrough, but you can't change background colour for part of a cell, if that was the sort of highlighting you were looking for. -- David Biddulph "OutlanderRaven" wrote in message ...

You can change the color of text in a cell by either selecting the text in
the formula bar that you want to assign a different color to and then click the Font Color drop-down at the right side of the Formatting tool bar and select your color of the moment. You can also double click on the cell that has the text or move to the cell that has the text and press F2 to select the text at the cell level instead of the formula bar. Hope this helps. -- Kevin Backmann "OutlanderRaven" wrote: Does anyone know how to highlight part of a text within a cell. I've tried but it does not seem to work. |
