Highlighting the background of textboxes of a particular word

[gutenberg]

Is there a way to highlight the background of textboxes of a particular word on a form? I want to highlight the background of every textbox that contains the word "Alabama."

Your options are limited when dealing with a continuous form. Have you tried, while in design view of your form, right clicking the textbox control and applying Conditional Formatting?

Yes. I clicked on the Conditional option on theformatting ribbon. Selected "Expression is" and typed:
[Desc2] LIKE"*Alabama*"

and it worked. Problem solved.

I was using the Field value is equal to and it wasn't working.
