    Make Font Bold On Document If Option "YES" Selected

    I have a number of option buttons which show on the document as either "NO" or "YES". What I am trying to achieve is if the option is answered "YES", then that word is made bold on the document, leaving the option "NO" in normal weight.

    This is a section of Options that I have which work okay in the form, but minus the Bold text if the answer is "YES".

    If .optDeliveredNo.Value = True Then
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Delivered").Item(1).Range.Text = "NO"
            Else
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Delivered").Item(1).Range.Text = "YES"
            End If
    If .optEvidenceNo.Value = True Then
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Evidence").Item(1).Range.Text = "NO"
            Else
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Evidence").Item(1).Range.Text = "YES"
            End If
    If .optEmployeeNo.Value = True Then
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Employee").Item(1).Range.Text = "NO"
            Else
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Employee").Item(1).Range.Text = "YES"
            End If
    If .optFundsNo.Value = True Then
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Funds").Item(1).Range.Text = "NO"
            Else
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Funds").Item(1).Range.Text = "YES"
            End If

    I think that I have found the answer, but am not sure if it is the most efficient.

    If .optDeliveredNo.Value = True Then
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Delivered").Item(1).Range.Text = "NO"
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Delivered").Item(1).Range.Bold = False
            Else
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Delivered").Item(1).Range.Text = "YES"
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Delivered").Item(1).Range.Bold = True
            End If
            If .optEvidenceNo.Value = True Then
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Evidence").Item(1).Range.Text = "NO"
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Evidence").Item(1).Range.Bold = False
            Else
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Evidence").Item(1).Range.Text = "YES"
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Evidence").Item(1).Range.Bold = True
            End If
            If .optEmployeeNo.Value = True Then
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Employee").Item(1).Range.Text = "NO"
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Employee").Item(1).Range.Bold = False
            Else
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Employee").Item(1).Range.Text = "YES"
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Employee").Item(1).Range.Bold = True
            End If
            If .optFundsNo.Value = True Then
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Funds").Item(1).Range.Text = "NO"
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Funds").Item(1).Range.Bold = False
            Else
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Funds").Item(1).Range.Text = "YES"
                ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Funds").Item(1).Range.Bold = True
            End If

    You could probably save some typing by using something like this. Not tested at all

    Performance-wise probably not much difference with either, but maintenance-wise I think the second option is easier to debug and modify

        With ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("Delivered").Item(1).Range
            .Text = IIf(.optDeliveredNo.Value, "NO", "YES")
            .Bold = IIf(.optDeliveredNo.Value, False, True)
        End With
    or maybe

    Sub DoAll()
        Call SetOptions("Delivered")
        Call SetOptions("Evidence")
        Call SetOptions("Employee")
        Call SetOptions("Funds")
    End Sub
    
    
    
    Sub SetOptions(TheTag As String)
        With ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag(TheTag).Item(1).Range
            .Text = IIf(.optDeliveredNo.Value, "NO", "YES")
            .Bold = IIf(.optDeliveredNo.Value, False, True)
        End With
    End Sub

    Thanks Paul for having a look at this. My solution is working fine, so will probably stick with it. I did give your option one a go, but it threw up a compile error : method or data member not found on .optDeliveredNo

    Speaking about the speed issue, how does one test the performance of code within a dotm?

    With a stopwatch and some [large] sample data. Or, you can incorporate a timer in your code, which adds additional overhead, if not much.
