You need to use forecolor property in your code.

Yes, it's not very clear in the help for Format, but for text you have to
set the format to [Red]@. The @ bit actually displays the text.

I wasn't aware you could change colors of anything in a table. Why
would you want to do this anyway, since users should never see the
table anyway.

re: Change text colour in table

Thanks this has helped,
But do you know how i can change the colour of multiple values. I.E i
want "Software" to be red, "Lab Software" to be gren etc. When i enter @
it changes all the values to that colour.
When using numbers this works.(in the format property)
1[red];2[green];3[blue]. So then each number is colured differently.
Just can't do it with text.
Any help would be appreciated.
