Change the Formatting of All Instances of a word in a worksheet in Excel
Is there a way to change the formatting (make it bold or change the fon color) of all the instances of a particular word (not the whole cell) i excel ? I am able to do it in word but would like to use the macro i excel & power point also. Any help would be appreciated.

Change the Formatting of All Instances of a word in a worksheet in Excel
Lets put it this way: Can you format a single word in a cell in Excel
or any spreadsheet on the market? Word and Power Point are set up for character by character formatting. Nothing I have seen in a spreadsheet (although I don't use Excel much) remotely suggests this is possible. jaikal24 wrote: Is there a way to change the formatting (make it bold or change the font color) of all the instances of a particular word (not the whole cell) in excel ?

substring apply the format & press <Enter "mike1942f" wrote: Lets put it this way: Can you format a single word in a cell in Excel or any spreadsheet on the market?

Hi Jackie,
you can format substrings in cells as suggested above. Your first problen is to search for the word in the cells, then find its position in the string. Once you have done this you can apply your formating. Below is an example from the macro recorder where I applied different formats to part of a string. Range("F1").Select ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "MyClasses.Add item := Inst, key := CStr(Num)" With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=1, Length:=2).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Regular" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=3, Length:=7).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Bold" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=10, Length:=1).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Regular" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=11, Length:=3).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Bold" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=14, Length:=1).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Regular" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=15, Length:=8).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Bold" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=23, Length:=6).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Regular" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=29, Length:=6).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Bold" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=35, Length:=10).Font .Name = "Arial Unicode MS" .FontStyle = "Regular" .Size = 10 .Strikethrough = False .Superscript = False .Subscript = False .OutlineFont = False .Shadow = False .Underline = xlUnderlineStyleNone .ColorIndex = xlAutomatic End With End Sub -- Tony Green "jaikal24" wrote: Is there a way to change the formatting (make it bold or change the font color) of all the instances of a particular word (not the whole cell) in excel ?
