    excel 97.How do I change text colour in A1 if A2 is >4?!!

    Hi,
    I'm using Excel 97 (yes ...I know...!) and I'm trying to format the text in
    a cell say A1 depending on the value contained in a different cell! eg turn
    the text red in A1 if value in A2 is > 4.

    Many thanks!

    Click on A1
    Select Format > Conditional Formatting
    Click on drop down on left side and choose "Formula is"
    In area immediately to right type: =A2>4
    Click on Format button
    On the Font tab click on the Color button and choose red from the palette
    Click OK
    Then click OK

    Thanks very much Cutter...Never used the 'formula is' conditional function.
    You've saved me a lot of time!
    Cheers
