Change font color of 'custom field' value

I have a Custom Field ('Risk Level') type is Text, that has a Value List
(ok, low, medium, high). I would like to change the color of each of these
values, example high = color(red). Can this be done?

Thanks. Just a few minutes a go I figured out how to do it using a
'Customized Field'. Within this field I used the 'Value List' indicating
possible values (low/med/high), then I used 'Graphical Indicators' setting
'low' = green button, and so on. Works great! Now it's easy to pickup trouble
spots on 100+ task plans. In addition, I set 'summary rows' = white button so
as not to confuse the real status of a summary task.

George,
Yes it can be done but not directly. It will either take filters and a
manual operation to set each color or it can be automated with a macro.

Hope this helps.

George,
Great! I'm glad you solved your problem. I did not suggest the graphical
indicator approach since your original post indicated you wanted the
actual words from the value list to be color coded. However, you found
an alternate equivalent method that works for you.
