Think your after Conditional Formatting. e.g if cell value = 3 you could change the format to Bold and Red Font.

As I pointed out I have maybe misunderstood that you wanted the items in the dropdown different colour etc. Maybe you should re-describe what you are looking to do and either myself or another person will let you know the answer -- HTH Nick Hodge Microsoft MVP - Excel Southampton, England www.nickhodge.co.uk HIS "Sam" wrote in message ... you can, because i am working in a spredsheet that someone else created that does. but how?

i see the misunderstanding. i wanted to change color of the item that was
selected and put in the cell, not the color of the list itself. i think i found the answer with conditional formating, it works well and is actually fairly inteligble without a manual. thanks for your help.
