    how to get cell color as per requirement?

    Hi, I am new member of this forum. This is my first thread. My question is mentioned below.

    I want to be able to change a color of one cell according to color of another cell. suppose, cell A1 has text "apples" having red color. Now, if I enter text same as A1("apples") in another cell, say B1, then color of text entered in cell B1 should be red.
    I am using Excel 2007

    How can it be done?
    Please, answer this question.
    Thanks in advance.

    Conditional Formatting
    New Rule
    Use a formula to determine. . .

    =(A1="apples")
    format as required

    Use Format Painter to copy to other cells.

    Ensure you describe your problem clearly, I have little time available to solve these problems and do not appreciate numerous changes to them.
