I have a vba program written in excel 2003 and am trying
to get it to run in excel 2007. The program gives a runtime
error 5 "Invalid procedure call or argument" at the statement
Selection.Characters(Start:=2, Length:=5).Font.Name = "Arial"
Could someone tell me how to correct this please.

Works fine for me. You have some other error.

First, did you copy-and-paste that statement from the XL2007 macro into your
posting?

If not, you might unconsciously fixed whatever syntax error your have in the
XL2007 macro.

Second, is Selection another object, for example a chart, not a cell?

Third, is the Arial font available in your XL2007?
