change color of text in cell without conditional formatting

Is there a function I can use to change the color of cell contents in
Excel 2003? I do not want to use conditional formatting and I was
thinking there was something like
=COLOR(A1,"RED") but I cannot find any function or command that works
that way. Is this possible?

Hi,

take a look at Chip Person Page at

There are a lot of tips.

There is no built in function to do this.
You might possibly do it with visual basic,
but It will probably be complicated depending on exactly what you want to do.

WOW! Seems like such an obvious feature, I cant believe it! I actually
considered VBA, but just assumed there had to be an easier way.
