Hi LookingGood,

From the little detail that you provide, it would seem that Excel's
Conditional Forma ( Menus | Format | Conditional Formatting...) option
would be appropriate

For more information see Debra Dalgleish at:

If you need to automate this process, turn on the macro recorder while you
perform the operation manually. The resultant code may be edited to allow
for more general application.

If you experience problems with such editing, post back with the problematic
code.

Dim i
With ActiveCell
i = Len(.Value)
.Value = .Value & " text in red"
.Characters(i + 1, Len(.Value) - i).Font.ColorIndex = 3

color on text in a cell
 

Sorry for providing not enough info.

Okay, cell 'A1' is null, a user (buyer) enters information using a Userform
screen which updates cell A1, because the user is a buyer, his/her text will
be in Red
If another user (stores) enters information using the same Userform screen,
and updates cell 'A1', his/her text would be in Blue and so forth.

Using the code below, changes all text to Red

Dim MyText As String
Dim MyTextCnt As Integer, MyRespCnt As Integer

MyText = Range("L" & MyRow).Value
MyTextCnt = Len(MyText)
MyRespCnt = Len(txtResponse.Value) + 1

Range("L" & MyRow).Value = MyText & Chr(10) & txtResponse.Value
'
Range("L" & MyRow).Select
With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=MyTextCnt + 1, Length:=MyRespCnt).Font
.Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Regular"
.Size = 10
.Strikethrough = False
.Superscript = False
.Subscript = False
.OutlineFont = False
.Shadow = False
.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone
.ColorIndex = 3
End With

I would like to keep the reply with different colors, can u or anyone
help.......

Bob, thank you for your response.

I have used the code u have provided and i am still getting the same result
that I have originally.

Here the scenerio, I have manually enter 2 sentences into cell 'A1', the
first sentence, set the text to red whilst the 2nd with blue. I placed the
3rd sentence into cell A2 in Black text

Using your code, where u have 'text in red', replaced it bye referencing
cell A2 and changed the colorindex from 3 to 4
Ran the code, the result as follows
Sentences 1 & 2 in cell A1 changed all to blue, whilst the sentence cell A2
that appended to cell A1 show as green which is corrent.
Why did the sentence 1 change to blue?

Please help
