    Question Cells turn red when you input data

    I have a spread sheet and when I enter informaiton for some reason it turns the cell red. I am fairly new with excel and can not figure out why. I never set it up to change color and have looked everywhere the cell is set up to only allow 50 characters to be enter but even if you enter less than 50 it turns red. I thought maybe its how the info I am entering is entered, for example LSF-halloweensouthflorida/halloween091/bullethole. I clicked on format cell and tried different option but it still turns red when you hit enter. I went to fill option but their is no fill. Does anyone have any suggestions?

    Go to the Home Tab and then Conditional Formatting... select Manage Rules.

    Are there any rules there?
    Where there is a will there are many ways.

    I do not see where conditional formating is. My only options are clipboard, font, alignment, number, cells, editing?
