Ok, I understand how formula is working. And I saw I wasn't clear enough of
what I want it to get as resault. So I have table with text in the rows.
Words are in black and just some of them have red letter. What I need to do
is to extract the whole word that contain red letter, not just the letter.

it is something like that
A B C D
1 bl<ue blue blue blue
2 blue blue blue blu<e
3 blu<e b<lue bl<ue blu<e
4 blue blue blue blue

< - red letter

Mariela,

You would need to use a User-Defined-Function. See the definition below.
Copy and paste it into a codemodule in your workbook, then use it like

=ColorWord(A1,3)

to extract the red letters from cell A1.

HTH,

Function ColorWord(myCell As Range, iColor As Integer)
Dim i As Integer
ColorWord = ""
With myCell
For i = 1 To Len(myCell.Text)
With .Characters(i, 1).Font
If .ColorIndex = iColor Then
ColorWord = ColorWord & Mid(myCell.Text, i, 1)
End If
End With
Next i
End With
End Function

Hi, I have table with A,B,C and D colums and text in the rows.
Some of the words in the text are with bold and different color letter.
I need to extract those words.
How can I do this?

I'm using Excel 2003

Thanks in advance,

Mariela
