    Automatic Color in A Cell

    I would like to automatically add red to a cell when
    I enter an X. I would also like to the X to appear
    in bold face.

    In other words, if I place an X in a particular field
    I would like that X to appear in boldface and I would
    like the cell background to change to red ( or more
    precisely a light shade of red ) which is the lightest
    color available on the color pallette.

    Is that possible?
