Note: you can change the caption and name of a control by right clicking on the control (make sure Design Mode is selected) and then clicking on
Properties. Change the caption of the command button to 'Apply Blue Text Color'. For now, we will leave CommandButton1 as the name of the
command button.
The Visual Basic Editor appears.
6. Add the code line shown below between Private Sub CommandButton1_Click() and End Sub.
7. Select the range B2:B4 and click the command button (make sure Design Mode is deselected).
