Conditional Formatting keeps changing alignment

Hi, I have simple to do list in a table with one rule in Conditional Formatting. If the text within cells D5:D19 are changed to "Completed", the entire row should color green. Somehow once the Conditional Formatting is applied the alignment is also changed. I already tried to save the Excel file in a different format (.xls, .xlsm, etc.), but it doesn't change anything.

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Usually when that happens it is down to the rule being set up against a row lower down the sheet.

When you set up the rule make sure that the top left cell of the range is active and base any formulas on that cell.
