I wasn't very clear and I gave it some more thought. I'm trying to
show cells in three different ways.
1. A constant just entered as a number
2. A direct link where a cell has contents something like =A5 or
=Sheet2!B8
3. Any other type of formula such as =vlookup(a4,b4:b9,2,0). I
realize that this item is probably a subset of #2 but I am trying to
change the font color on something like this and make it different
than #2. (and different than #1)
Thanks,
Chet
