Is it possible to add color to the background of just the text not the entire cell?

Thanks for your help!

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
Similar to using a text box, but you can use an auto-shape filled with ur particular color, and then make it semi-transparent. Again, this is similar to a text box but you get different shapes.

hmmm

I didnt think it was possible

I was looking to steer away from highlighting the entire cell

It has a lot of information in the cell and I wanted to highlight the words

"Wrong Volume" within the actual volume content.... I dont want the font color changed or the entire cell colored just the background of the "wrong volume" words

So basically I need the volume: "10 boxes" to be black...

then above it I need the words "Wrong Volume" highlighted

Thanks again....your ideas were appreciated!
