Default Change Font Color when I type the letter

I need to know how to set up a function (maybe) to change
the font color when I type the letter. For example, I have
a field (column) contains Femal and Male information. I
need to change M in color "Blue" when I type M in the
column; change F in color " Red" when I type F in the
column. Please help and thanks!

Use conditional formatting (FormatConditional Formatting), and test the
values equal to M and F and set the colour accordingly.
