    Sort by font Color

    Thank you for all your help, so I have another question.
    I have a large spreadsheet with the font in Red and Black. I need to sort all the red so I can delete. Your guidance is appreciated.

    Select the cells to be sorted
    Go to Data -> sort. It will open sort window.
    select "Font color" in "sort on" column.

    I meant, you will see a column called 'sort on' in sort window and you will need to select "font color" from the dorp down which can be seen just below 'sort on'. let me know if this is not clear. i will send you a screen shot.

    I am working in Excel 2003 and when I open the sort box it is only "sort on" and it lists columns.

    Re: Sort by font Color

    I see you you thought I was crazy. I do not have nay thing like that. I was thinking that the font color had a number ID in the background that someone knew an then i could use that to sort.

    Thank you for your effort you all know some much.
