Default Conditional Formatting - only 1 word in the cell changes color?

Hi -
I know how to get a cell to change color based on a value or partial value
but the problem is that I don't want the entire cell to change formatting -
only 1 word. Anytime the word "Dept" occurs in Col B, I want it to be
formatted in white text so as to appear invisible to users. Problem is that
it will always occur before a # such as Dept22 or Dept85. I want the # to
remain visible while the word Dept is in white text.

any way to do this?

thanks!!
