Many thanks to you both.
Now I understand.

Regards.

Just use the Textbox control from the Toolbox in the VBA editor. The user
can't change the properties of the text box directly. You would have to
provide command buttons that would make the requested changes via code
similar to what I posted earlier.

Apologies, that is what I meant.
For further clarity..........can the user make these changes after the
form is displayed?

Or can/must I use an ActiveX control?

Regards and thanks

I'm not sure what you mean by a text box from the Drawing toolbar.
However, if you have a regular MSForms textbox on a user form, you can
change the Font property in a variety of ways, e.g.,

Me.TextBox1.Font.Underline = True
Me.TextBox1.Font.Italic = True
Me.TextBox1.Font.Name = "Times New Roman"
Me.TextBox1.Font.Size = 16

With a textbox (from the Drawing toolbar) on a Userform
can I allow the user to select some of their text and :

1. Change the Font
2. Change the Font size
3. Underline it
4. Italicise it
