Automatically highlighting Tabs using a conditional formula

Anonymous

What conditional formula should I use to automatically highlight the Tabs based on a conditional cross reference if the values on the Summary page associated with the Tab names go below zero? 

For example, I have a Summary page with a list of the Tab names and the balances pulled over from each Tab.  When the corresponding balances go below zero, I'd like the associated Tab name to automatically get highlighted.

    Are you referring to Microsoft Excel?

    If yes, what version are you referring to and what version of Windows are you using?
