Underline portion of footer with VBA
I would like to have a user enter their name and then display "Modified by:
[Name]" and have the name portion underlined. I know how to use VBA to enter the footer, but how do I underline a portion of it? Thanks LandesMD |

Underline portion of footer with VBA
Hi,
Use &U to get underlining toggled on and off. Modified by: &U[Name]&U And here from the help file are the other formatting codes. Format code Description &L Left aligns the characters that follow. &C Centers the characters that follow. &R Right aligns the characters that follow. &E Turns double-underline printing on or off. &X Turns superscript printing on or off. &Y Turns subscript printing on or off. &B Turns bold printing on or off. &I Turns italic printing on or off. &U Turns underline printing on or off. &S Turns strikethrough printing on or off. &D Prints the current date. &T Prints the current time. &F Prints the name of the document. &A Prints the name of the workbook tab. &P Prints the page number. &P+number Prints the page number plus the specified number. &P-number Prints the page number minus the specified number. && Prints a single ampersand. & "fontname" Prints the characters that follow in the specified font. Be sure to include the double quotation marks. &nn Prints the characters that follow in the specified font size. Use a two-digit number to specify a size in points. &N Prints the total number of pages in the document.
