Font change won't take!

I'm working on an Excel spreadsheet filled with just number values. In order
to highlight a particular number, I tried to make it bold and in red colored
font. As soon as I move to another cell, however, the changes revert back to
unbold and black font. I've tried to format the cell to the way I want it.
I've tried to change the font and then hit save prior to moving to the next
cell, but cannot get the change to remain. Please, help!

Thanks
 
Check and see if the cell(s) have conditional formatting applied - that may
be what's forcing the color back to black when you leave it. In the menu bar:
Format | Conditional Formatting
see if there are any conditions applied.

You can also try selecting the cells and choosing
Clear | Formats and seeing if you can't set the color/bold property after
that. But any special number properties you had applied to them will also
disappear.
