Im trying to make the active cell either bolded or highlighted. Is that
possible?
CLR - 17 May 2007 19:21 GMT
Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
   With Cells.Font
     .FontStyle = "Regular"
   End With
   With ActiveCell.Font
     .FontStyle = "Bold"
   End With
End Sub

Private Sub Worksheet_SelectionChange(ByVal Target As Range)
Cells.Interior.ColorIndex = xlNone
With Cells.Font
       .FontStyle = "regular"
End With
ActiveCell.Interior.ColorIndex = 6 'yellow
With ActiveCell.Font
       .FontStyle = "bold"
End With
End Sub

Can I have that a little slower so my small brain can take it in? Are these
formulas added to the entire selection? Sorry.

They are not formulas, formulas cannot do this. You would need event macros
Right click the sheet tab where you want this to happen and select view
code. then paste in the code. Press Alt + q and save the workbook

Just as long as you realize that this wipes out color formatting from every cell
other than the active cell with no going back.

Right on Gord............that's why I stuck with just the "bolding" part in
my response.
