HI Stepha
Select the range you would like to format then go to >Format>Conditional
Formatting>
change " Cell Value is " to " Formula is " next box copy this formula
=OR(--(A2="mr"),OR(--(A2="sr"))). This formula assume that the first cell in
your range is A2 change it to your needs then press Format and Pattern and
choose your colour.

I'm note quite sure what you are trying to do with your two OR functions and
the two double unary minuses, John, but why
=OR(--(A2="mr"),OR(--(A2="sr")))
and not just
=OR(A2="mr",A2="sr") ?
