I would like to have 5. If it isn't, what I want to do is hi-light a cell with a particular = colour depending on its content. Lets say: In cell A6 I want to enter the letter "C" and have it colour red In cell = A7 I want to enter the letters "AA" and have it blue In cell A8 I want to enter the letter "I" and leave it with no-fill = etc etc with about 5 or 6 different sets.
