Don't think you can do this with a plain textbox, unless you use the Windows
API and that won't be simple. You can do this quite easily with the Richtext
control.

I have a textbox on a userform and I want to be able to display text in the
textbox in different formats. (ex. The first word is red, the second word
is
Bold black, and the trid word is blue) Is this possible?

I am working on a translator program that need to 'mark' certain words
differently.
