Multiple exact matches in conditional formatting
I'm trying to use conditional formatting to give a distinct background color to groups of words.  E.g. the words: Horse, Cow, Hog will have a blue background and the words Tower, House, Tent a red background.  Is there a way to enter these as two rules rather than 6?
