Can VB programing within Excel, take the user's Input.

Can a macro run and get the Font Name and Font Size? If so, how is this
done?
Thanks

Hi JCO,

Try this.

Option Explicit

Sub FontIt()
Dim i As Variant, j As Variant
i = Range("A1").Font.Size
j = Range("A1").Font.Name
MsgBox i & " " & j
End Sub

Regards,
Howard

Why do you need to prompt the user for this? Is their some reason why
the user can't just select these from the toolbar control[s]?

Otherwise, you'd need to use the VB6 Common Dialog control, which would
have to be distributed with your VBA project. A VB6 developer license
is required to use/distribute the control in your projects.

Perhaps you can google to see if someone has written a pure VB font
picker that you can modify to work in a VBA userform. Or maybe there's
a DLL available!
