Default 2003 excel

I would like to change the cell color if there is a "r" found in it. All the
cells are in the same colum and there are also numbers in the cells with the
"r". Can anyone help ?

Assume data in col A

Select the col, then apply conditional formatting
using Formula Is:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("r",A1))
Format to taste OK out

Replace SEARCH with FIND if you need it to be case sensitive
