    Hi RAguilar,

    Do you a have list of all potential characters that you want to highlight?

    You could then use a Find Function & Conditionally format them.

    Or a Macro could do the above.

    Just a thought.
    Remember you are unique, like everyone else

    Pretty much CHAR(65) to CHAR(128) covers a-z and A-Z, so maybe you could use something like =AND(CODE(cell-ref)>=65,CODE(cell-ref)<=128)...this would give the english alphabet
    1. Use code tags for VBA. [code] Your Code [/code] (or use the # button)
    2. If your question is resolved, mark it SOLVED using the thread tools
