Conditional formatting: Non-adjacent cells, format highest value and cell next to it

I am using Excel 2007. My data is illustrated in the table below.

I am trying to identify the highest percentage in each row, then format that cell, plus the cell next to it (on the left).
For example, in Row 1, since 24% is the highest value, I want to format E1 and D1. In Row 2, I want to format C2 and B2. In Row 3, I want to format G3 and F3.

I am not sure what formula to use for the conditional formatting. Thanks for any help anyone can give!

	A	B	C	D	E	F	G
1	Text1	4	11%	9	24%	2	5%
2	Text2	13	34%	6	16%	2	5%
3	Text3	1	3%	11	29%	12	32%

Maybe I did something wrong - this didn't work.

I ended up using a workaround -- I used the "Format only top or bottom ranked values" rule for B1, D1, F1, then created a second rule that did the same for C1, E1, G1.

Since the largest # will always correspond with the largest percentage, this worked for my data.
I would be interested in a better formula for more complicated data, however.

Thanks for your help!
