Default Line-by-line formatting in Excel 2007 Textbox

I have code that programmatically adds a textbox, and then adds text ,
line-by-line in a loop. I want to format each line as it is entered. The
problem is that previously entered formatted lines change with each new line
added to the textbox. Only the last iteration through the loop retains its
format. I am including the code in case someone can spot the problem.

Sorry for the length...

Add textbox to worksheet

shtRC.Shapes.AddTextbox(1, 1, .Rows(r + 29).Top, .Columns(c +
3).Left, 340).Name = "Comments"
shtRC.Shapes("comments").Select
With Selection
.ShapeRange.Line.Visible = msoFalse
.Font.Size = 10
.Font.Name = "Arial"
.HorizontalAlignment = xlJustify
End With

For X = 0 To 1

Add notes to textbox

notes = "This is a test note..."
If notes < "" Then
shtRC.Shapes("Comments").Select

With Selection ' Selection is "Comments" textbox
If X = 0 Then
Add Product Name & note to Comments testbox
.Text = .Text & profile1 & Chr(10)
.Text = .Text & note1 & Chr(10)

Format product name portion of Comments Textbox
.Characters(Start:=Len(.Text) - Len(profile1) - Len(note1)
- 3, Length:=Len(profile1)).Font.FontStyle = "Bold"

Format notes portion of Comments Textbox
.Characters(Start:=Len(.Text) - Len(note1) - 3,
Length:=Len(note1)).Font.FontStyle = "Normal"

End If

If X = 1 Then
Add 2nd Product name & Note to Comments testbox
.Text = .Text & profile2 & Chr(10)
.Text = .Text & note2 & Chr(10)

Format product name portion of Comments Textbox
.Characters(Start:=Len(.Text) - Len(profile2) - 3,
Length:=Len(profile2)).Font.FontStyle = "Bold"

Format notes portion of Comments Textbox
.Characters(Start:=Len(.Text) - Len(note2) - 3,
Length:=Len(note2)).Font.FontStyle = "Normal"

End If
End With
End If
Next X
