Split out text colour in the same TextFrame

[Faridwahidi]

Hi,

Can anyone help me?
I want to change color for only newline (2nd Line) but the code below will change all text to red color

mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "SUMMARY OF AAs RECEIVED AND ACCREDITED " & vbNewLine & "JANUARY - MONTHS-20XX"
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 16
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Bold = True
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Color = RGB(255, 0, 0)

Maybe this:

Dim oTR as TextRange

mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "SUMMARY OF AAs RECEIVED AND ACCREDITED " & vbNewLine & "JANUARY - MONTHS-20XX" 
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 16 
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Bold = True 
Set oTR=mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Lines(2)
oTR.Font.Color.RGB = RGB(255, 0, 0)

Hi john wilson,

Thanks a lot.

Any idea to change in between text? e.g. If I want "JANUARY -" remain on black colour and only "MONTHS-20XX" turn to red

You would need to deduce the position of the -

Like this (and then you need to play with the code)

Sub FixTxt()
Dim mySlide As Slide
Dim otxR1 As TextRange
Dim otxR2 As TextRange
Dim hyphPos As Integer
Dim lenTR As Long
Set mySlide = ActivePresentation.Slides(1)
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = "SUMMARY OF AAs RECEIVED AND ACCREDITED " & vbNewLine & "JANUARY - MONTHS-20XX"
lenTR = mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Length
hyphPos = InStr(1, mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text, "-")
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 16
mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Bold = True
hyphPos = InStr(1, mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text, "-")
Set otxR1 = mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=hyphPos + 1)
Set otxR2 = mySlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Characters(Start:=hyphPos + 1, Length:=lenTR - hyphPos)
otxR1.Font.Color.RGB = RGB(0, 0, 0) 'or whatever
otxR2.Font.Color.RGB = vbRed
End Sub

Hi John,

Thanks A lot. hope top learn more from you in future.

Instead of Range.Characters(), I think, we may also use Left/Right/Len function?
