bold part of cell unavailable at time
 

but I can do it on some cells. What do I look for to change to be able to do
this since I want a some numbers in a cell string to be bold?

Using Excel 2002.

If you double-click a cell and select part of its content, then
Format|Cells... only displays the Font tab. You can then apply bold to
only a part of the cell.

If you seek some automation that will make parts of the cell string
bold, this will require VBA. Something like:

Range("A1").Characters(Start:=1, Length:=3).Font.FontStyle = "Bold"
or

Cells(i, j).Characters(Start:=k, Length:=m).Font.FontStyle = "Bold"

if you are playing with variables.

It is hard to tell by how you phrase your question, but if you are talking
about a cell whose contents are entirely numbers, you cannot. I just
experimented, and it did let me bold part of a cell that had only numbers,
but as soon as I left that cell, the bold was removed.

No there are couple letters intermixed in the cell.
01/04+17.20/4.35m,-20,-23,S-15.50=4 .

Only one cell was the problem so I copied another and pasted, then corrected
the string. This worked, but still do not know why this was a problem with
one cell. Anyone else know?
