Thanks for the quick reply! Unfortunately this gives me the same kind of error, Run-time '1004'/Application-defined or object-defined error, highlighting the row beginning '.colour' at this point:
Formula: copy to clipboard
With .FormatConditions(1)
With .Font
.Color = 393372
.TintAndShade = 0
End With

I ran a repair install of Office 2007, just in case, but still no joy.
