Hi Sam I am aware of the possibilities in office 2007 and later. But this sheet will be used by multiple users, someone still in office 2003. Therefore I will save it in the old office format.
I knew where to put Don's code, and that worked, but I then wanted to change the words the conditional formatting depended on, but I was not able to do that in VBA. Thanks for your suggestions. I have tested those in office 2010 and they work great. I would have chosen that solution if I knew that none of the users were in office 2003.
