    <p>I actually had the same exact problem. Thanks to this question (and the discussions in it), some other research, and some random stabbing in the dark, I came to a 'solution'. It's not clean and exact and I can't explain it, but it worked for me. Hopefully, it is useful for others.</p> <p><strong>Why Conditional Formatting is disabled</strong>: To expand on one of rajah9's comments, the reason you can't change font in Conditional Formatting is discussed <a href="http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/font-and-size-disabled-conditional-formatting-t3695095.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> where it says: </p> <blockquote> <p>...the reason behind disabling those items for Conditional Formatting was that they (MS) assumed that changing attribute that would modify the column width or row height should not be allowed in CF.</p> </blockquote> <p>Another user echoes <a href="http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/cant-change-font-conditional-formatting-t968340.html" rel="nofollow">here</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>...Conditional formatting does not support changing anything that might change the overall format of the worksheet. Changing the font could result in data being cut off unless the column is made wider because the characters in the font might require more space (as an example). Thus size is not an option either.</p> </blockquote> <p>So, you can't do it because MS doesn't trust you with it. That would be livable if it weren't for that fact that MS DOES change it.</p> <p>Saving the spreadsheet in .xlsx would work, but some of us, myself included, have to support Excel 2003 users.</p> <p><strong>My setup</strong>: I am currently working with Excel 2010 with a .xls file that was created in Excel 2003. I noticed the conditional formatting formulas in one worksheet undesirably changed the font, while the other worksheet left it alone. This led me to believe that the desired behavior COULD be achieved.</p> <p><strong>Solution</strong>: I created a new worksheet. Then, I copied and pasted any borders, text, formulas, etc. from the old worksheet into the new one. Also, I redid any CFs I originally needed. Finally, I deleted the old worksheet, with the new, essentially identical one, in its place. The final result was all my CFs worked properly and didn't change the font!</p> <p>This was all achieved in Excel 2010 and saved as the original .xls format. Every time I reopen the file after this change, my font remains intact.</p> <p>As mentioned, I can't quite explain it, but it seems the old worksheet maintained something that caused this inconsistent behavior and recreating it in 2010 removed the hidden gremlin.</p>

    1. COHi belatedly, thanks for the feedback. (I forgot to activate my notifications). As you say, with a bit of effort one might get some results. Well I've migrated to Windows 7 + Excel 2010 now luckily! Regards

    2. CO@Relaxed1 No problem. Glad to help out. Yea, there's quite a bit of hardship involved in working between different versions of Excel (even if they are using formats that SHOULD be compatible). Glad to hear it's not an issue for you and (from what I understand) you don't have to support the old .xls format.

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
