Highlighting a block of text within a cell
Is it possible to highlight a block of text in Excel???
I am bolding "Comma Missing here!" in black. Is it possible to put a yellow background on just this portion of text within a cell to really make it stand out??? Thanks in advance for your review and hopeful for a reply. PSULionRP |

The short answer is no. The pattern or fill colour is an all or nothing
proposition. -- HTH... Jim Thomlinson "PSULionRP" wrote: Is it possible to highlight a block of text in Excel??? I am bolding "Comma Missing here!" in black.

Highlighting a block of text within a cell
Background fill is for entire cell only.
You can select that text in the formula bar and change the font color. Or by fiddling around you can add a semi-transparent rectangle and lay it over the text. Use the Drawing Toolbar for this.

Thanks for your reply. I was afriad that would be the answer. I guess I'll
let the creative side of my brain try and come up with something via paint or with a draw option as suggested by Gord. These Microsoft Forums just continue to be the BEST because of people like you all. Thanks Again! "Jim Thomlinson" wrote: The short answer is no.
