Conditional Format for cells

[Joanie]

Is it possible to create a conditional format for a cell in a table to
highlight its value. Something similar that excel has?

 

[Graham Mayor]

Word is not Excel and has comparatively limited table formatting
capabilities, but it *may* be possible to do something similar using vba.
See the bar chart example at http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm

Why not embed the Excel table in your document and take advantage of its
formatting capabilities?

Thanks for reminding me about embedding. formatting the table was an
afterthought after I pasted it from excel and I was hoping I didn't have to
return to the spreadsheet and do the formating there before repasting.
Again Thanks

Hi Joanie,

If the 'conditional format' is limted to character formatting for values/strings calculated via formula fields, there are some
limited options. For more information, check out my Word Field Maths Tutorial, at:

In particular, look at the item titled 'Formatting Numeric Field Results'.
