Conditional Formatting

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting if the field contains a
certain word along with any other text? I want to highlight a record if a
certain field contains the word "report."

Yes, it is possible.

Instead of conditional formatting of

Field Value is = "Report Due"

Try
EXPRESSION is [SomeField] Like "*Report*"
