Default Having a value automatically change color

I'm setting up a blood pressure monitoring worksheet, and would like to have
one one of the values turn red if it is over 80. I have no idea how to do
this. Help?? Please?

Default Having a value automatically change color

Say the cell is B9. Click on it and pull-down:

Format Conditional Formatting... Cell Value Is Greater than 80
and pic a distinctive format.

Hi,

In 2007:
1. Highlight all the cells on the rows you want formatted
2. Choose Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cell Rules, Greater Than
and enter the 80.
3. Open the with dropdown and choose Custom Format, OK.
4. On the Font tab open Color and choose Red.
5. Click OK twice
