Conditonal Formating a entire row

[shooter27]

I have 400 rows of data x 30 columns of data. There are four columns that
contain any one of five different key letters (R, NR, O, U, NA). What I want
to do is that evertime a letter such as NR shows up in any of the four
specified columns, the entire row have a conditional format applied. When I
do "Cell Is", the conditional format is only applied to the one cell even if
I have the entire row(s) highlighted when I create the conditional format. I
tried to find similar posts to help but have not been successful. Using
Excel 2003.
