mix font styles in concatenated text
Can any one tell me how, in Excel 2003, to have certain words written in bold
typeface in a concatenated string. For example : =CONCATENATE("I, the undersigned, ";A3;"do hereby confirm etc etc") which gives I, the undersigned, Joe Brown, do hereby confirm etc etc But I want Joe Brown to be written in bold type face. I've tried the most obvious which is selecting A3 within the formula and clicking on the bold typeface icon (as you would in regular text not within a formula), but it doesn't work. Any help would be appreciated. |

Steph,
I'd create the document template in Word, and import things like first, last names into the document with mail merge. You can format at will there. Excel will not allow mixing formats in the same cell when its a result of a "=". Beege "Lakeside Steph" <Lakeside wrote in message ...

Hi Beege,
Thanks for the answer - it's what I suspected - unfortunately the rest of the document has loads of concatenated strings referring to lots of data on a spreadsheet - but, hey, I could give it a go and try and improve my Word skills (which sure do need improving !)
