Is it possible to replace only specific characters/text within a cell? For

I use find and replace, all words in the cell are changed to italics.


If you have entered the text in the cell directly,
select the cell
select the particular characters within the cell (highlight them)
right-click and select the font changes

Note that the data MUST be TEXT.

If the text string is the result of a formula, you cannot do this.

This can also be done with a VBA Macro.
