Further Userform questions
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 -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Stuart" wrote in message ...

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 "Chip Pearson" wrote in message ...

Further Userform questions
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. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Stuart" wrote in message ...

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. Regards.

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. -- HTH RP (remove nothere from the email address if mailing direct) "Stuart" wrote in message ...

I'm pretty sure you can not apply formating to sections of the text in a
textbox control. It's all or nothing. Cheers Andy Stuart wrote: Nope, I cannot make this work.

Hi
The Microsoft controls that allow formatting on selected text only are the RichTextbox control (using rtf) and the DHTMLEdit control (using html). HTH. Best wishes Harald "Stuart" skrev i melding ...
