Take a look at "Conditional Formatting" in XL Help.

Hi fwburkey ,
I didn't find the Conditional Formatting adequately described in HELP,
would suggest my page on Conditional Formatting as more informative.
http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/condfmt.htm
The main thing to remember is to select the cells you want to be colored,
and the base the formula on the active cell.

sidenote:
The use of web based "forums" makes searching of websites very difficult
because you have to eliminate at least 40 such domains as you posted from
in order to eliminate newsgroup postings when trying to search the web.

All of the web based "forums" have one thing in common -- force feeding
of advertisements. One thing that used to hold this stuff in check was dial up
access where such sites would be completely unbearable. .

Using the newsgroups without a web interface would work better, and if you must
use a web based access to newsgroups would suggest using Google Groups or
Microsoft Communities as being better. Better to search newsgroups separately than
websites. The websites should have more complete content -- not just
regurgitated newsgroup postings that can be searched and seen in Google Advance Groups Search.
