copy conditional formats

[by1612]

Hi,
I have a cell with seven conditional formatting formula rules that I now want to copy to the rest of the column. I can copy/paste special/formats one cell at a time but if I try to to this with a group of cells, (or try using the format painter), it treats the formula references as absolute, even though they aren't shown as absolute in the rules manager. Am I missing something? Using 2007.

Can you upload the file or advise the formula you're using in the conditional formatting?

Why don't you just select the cell with the formatting, select "manage rules" and then extend the selection of cells that these rules apply to.
