Highlighting it would be tricky, you would need to have an array of controls
for different textboxes, maybe dropdowns for fonts, sizes, etc. Could get
quite complex.

Nope, I cannot make this work.
Provide a Control to change all the text in some way seems ok, but letting
user select/highlight some of the text and alter their selection....that I
cannot see.

Many thanks to you both.
Now I understand.

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
