=OR(C:C="FLAT",C:C ="2FS",C:C ="3FCH")

Above is the formula I am trying, so column C words Flat, 2FS, or 3FCH will
get yellow highlight in another column cell. However, it now highlights the
entire column yellow, regardless of the text I have in column C. What am I
doing wrong?

Highlight all the cells in column C that you want this to apply to,
with C2 (say) as the active cell. Then Format | Conditional Formatting
and choose Formula Is and then this formula:

=OR($C2="FLAT",$C2 ="2FS",$C2 ="3FCH")

select your format then OK your way out. Excel will automatically
adjust those cell references to C3, C4, C5 etc on different rows.

Hope this helps.
