Thread: Change font for part of a cell

  1. #1

    Change font for part of a cell

    Hey, i'm having trouble with this code, i'm sure it is just a simple fix

    [VBA]With Worksheets("Sheet1") _
    .Range("B1") _
    .Value = "New Title" _
    .Characters(5, 5).Font.Bold = True
    End With [/VBA]

    Basically everything is fine, just I want to have this apply to cells that already have text in them, not have it put in the phrase "new title" and then bold the second word. Is this possible, example: In cell A2 I have the writing "excel is fun!" and i would like to be able to run the macro and have it change the "is fun" part bold. Ideally I would like to have this work for a range of cells as well, i.e. A1:B45.

    There might be people with ESP on this forum but it escapes me what the correlation is between The fifth ((5, 5) Character, bold the second word and bold the second and third word (is fun).

    I'm not sure if i understand your question, but the characters function in this just starts at the 5th character and then bolds the next 5 characters, does that help?

    If the (5, 5) does not change for any used cells in Range A1:B45 then it would be something like this.

    [vba]
    Sub TryThis()
    Dim c As Range
    For Each c In Range("A1:B45")
    If c.Value <> "" Then c.Characters(5, 5).Font.Bold = True
    Next c
    End Sub
    [/vba]

    If the last Row in Column A could be anywhere, you could try this.

    [vba]
    Sub TryThisA()
    Dim c As Range
    Dim LR As Long
    LR = Cells(Rows.Count, 1).End(xlUp).Row
    For Each c In Range("A1:B" & LR)
    If c.Value <> "" Then c.Characters(5, 5).Font.Bold = True
    Next c
    End Sub
    [/vba]

    This might be faster.

    [VBA]Sub TryThisA()
    With ActiveSheet.UsedRange.SpecialCells(2)
    .Characters(5, 5).Font.Bold = True
    End With
    End Sub[/VBA]
