I have 8 columns in a row with #'s in each cell and would like to have the
highest number in that row stand out ie (larger font, or have the cell have
background colour)

One play using Conditional Formatting

Assume your range is A1:H1

Select A1:H1 (with A1 active)
Click Format Conditional Formatting
Under Condition 1, use:
Formula is: =A1=MAX($A$1:$H$1)
Click Format button Font tab* Bold & red OK
Click OK at the main dialog
*or go to Patterns tab, select your desired fill color

Test it out ..

Tied max numbers, if any, will be simultaneously conditionally formatted

Use Conditional Formats, for example row #10

Select A10 and Format Conditional Formatting... Formula Is
=A10=MAX(10:10)
and pick a nice background color


Then copy this formatting across the entire row.
