Table cell shading/Text Format (Word 2K/SR-1)

I suspect I may already know the answer to this, but I need to ask, in case someone knows of a quick solution. In Excel, you have conditional formatting for cells. What I am wondering is, without having to write some VBA, is there a simple way to do this for table cell entries in Word. What I would like to do is change the colour of text depending on what it is. The situation is that I have an Issue Log and want to assign priorities to each issue. If the Priority is high (H), medium (M) or Low (L) then I want the colour of the displayed text to change (H = red) , (M = blue) and (L = Green) or some similar colour scheme. Any insight anyone can provide is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Would it be feasible to use the “Insert Microsoft Excel Worksheet” button to create the table? You can use conditional formatting then.
Otherwise, you would need a macro, for AFAIK there is no conditional formatting of table cells in Word itself.

Thanks Hans. I did think about that, but it is not feasible because of the way this Issue Log is set up. So I guess I need to look at what that macro might look like.
