Highlightng in Excel

"Highlight" means different things to different people. To me it means
surround with dancing girls. So, no, that isn't possible. Sorry.

Yes, select the word in the formula bar using mouse or shift<>arrow then do
format>cells and use a coloured font or press F2 and use arrow keys and
shift<>arrow to do the same

If it's text in that cell (not a formula and not a number), then you can select
the characters you want to highlight in the formula bar and click on the
formatting (font color/font size/bold/italics) buttons--or go through
format|Cells.

Still not clear Mike. Do you want colored font or colored background? If
font is the answer is yes, if background, no.

To color part of a string (not numbers and not formulas, even if they return
a string):
-Press F2 to go into edit mode
-Select the substring within the string to color.
-Press Ctrl-1 and select the color, font type, bold, etc., that you want.
