Ansari,
Thank you for taking the time to assist me. When I look at your code I can see
how simple it is--it works great! When I get more familiar with VBA syntax I
hope to be able to figure this out myself.
Thanks again for you kindness in helping me.

Dear Preston,
Try it
Sub color_dname()
Dim rng As Range
Set rng = Sheet1.Range("A1:A" & Sheet1.Cells(Rows.Count, "A").End(xlUp).Row)
For Each cell In rng
If VBA.Left(cell, 1) = "D" Then
cell.Interior.Color = vbGreen
End If
Next
End Sub
and see attached sheet.

This a probably a simple question, but I am new to VBA...
How do I test to find cells that contain text starting with the letter "D"?
Thank you
