Format text as bold/italics/underline PROGRAMMATICALLY/formula???
Hi all,
I have a text compiled in a cell as a result of a complex formula. I want to be able to format PARTS of the resulting text (i.e., after the formula in a cell compiles and displays the resulting text) as bold and parts as italic and yet other parts as underlined. Is there any operator I can insert into the formula so that the desired parts of the resulting text are displayed as formatted? Would gretly appreciate any assistance. thank you! |

Only constant text strings can be rich text formatted. Formulas can't.

Thank you, Tom.
Are you aware of any future developments in that area planned by Microsoft, perchance? thx! "Tom Ogilvy" wrote: Only constant text strings can be rich text formatted.

You would have to replace the formula with its textual result. Not knowing your requirements, this is something you could probably do with a Sub routine. And you could include in that routine the decision making necessary to decide the font variations for the different segments. --ron |

I wish I knew more about VB programming/macros to actually try out your recommendation :-( "Ron Rosenfeld" wrote: On Tue, 27 Feb 2007 11:23:07 -0800, Nat Maxwell wrote: Hi all, I have a text compiled in a cell as a result of a complex formula.

It is asked so infrequently, I doubt it would attract much interest from
microsoft and I suspect it would eat up a lot of development time and processing power. -- Regards, Tom Ogilvy "Nat Maxwell" wrote: Thank you, Tom.
