How to make cell text colored if cell contains a formula?

I'm trying to create a conditional formatting where cells are colored whenever they contain a formula. Is this possible with Google Spreadsheets?

Use Conditional Formatting Custom Formula. Right click on cell A1. From the dropdown list click Conditional Formatting. From the Conditionl Format Rules popup panel, set up Conditional Formula as follows:

Apply to Range:

A1:Z1000

From the Format cells if.. option, click the down arrow. Select Custom Formula is (note you may need to scroll down. It is the last option).

Custom Formula is:

=isformula(A1)

Formatting Style:

Pick you option.

Any cell in the Apply to Range that has a formula will get your selected formatting style.
