Not sure what you want. Can you be a little more specific? Also, what
version of Excel (2000, 2003, 2007)? Do you want the Text of the cell
containing the statement '="The following number is red
"&text(a1,"##")' to be RED or the cell A1 to be RED. Have you looked
at Conditional Formatting? However, I don't think you can affect the
font size with Conditional Formatting.

Formulas don't support this type of character by character formatting.

I want to be able to change the number returned by the TEXT function to be
[red] and the balance of the text in the cell to remain as formatted in the
cell (black)
