Default Conditional formatting using VB and range

I'm trying to update an existing macro to add conditional formatting for a
range of cells. The current macro defines the range of cells to be updated
each time it runs as the range of cells is not always the same. The range of
cells is then named AttRange1.

I used the macro recorder to capture the basic syntax for the formatting but
need help adding it to the original macro. If the cell begins with the
letter "E" I need to change the font to red bold and this is what it gave me:

Range("J14").Select
Selection.FormatConditions.Add Type:=xlExpression, Formula1:= _
"=LEFT(J14)=""E"""
With Selection.FormatConditions(1).Font
.Bold = True
.Italic = False
.ColorIndex = 3
End With
....two similar formatting conditions applied here...
Selection.Copy
Range("J14:Q35").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteFormats, Operation:=xlNone, _
SkipBlanks:=False, Transpose:=False
Application.CutCopyMode = False

In this case, the range begins in J14 and goes to Q35. I set the formatting
in J14 and then used the format painter to apply it to the rest of the range.
If my starting cell was always J14 I think I could get away with changing
the line after the copy command from "Range("J14:Q35").Select" to
"AttRange1.Select" but it is always different.

Is there anyway I can update the code in line 1 and 3 above to use my range
of cells AttRange1?
