Re: Formattting Bookmarks

Thanks so much Jay for your help and website link. It was very helpful.

The problem really isn't at the formatting step, but at the step where you
inserted text at the bookmark. If the text is inserted properly, the
bookmark's range will cover the entire text -- no matter whether it's one
character, two characters, or the whole of War And Peace.

Use the technique shown in

Thanks Jay.
We tried that but if the .Bookmarks("BookmarkName").Range.Text = xx,
that is 2 characters instead of 1, only the first character is
formatted. What I have done that works is extend the the bookmark
range as follows
Dim bookend
bookend= .Bookmarks("BookmarkName").End + 2
.Bookmarks("BookmarkName").End = bookend

Then I selected the bookmark and formatted the text to red and single
underline. If there is a more efficient way of doing this I would
appreciate any help given.

Thanks!

I am trying to format the text passed to a bookmark from a userform.
Any suggestions?

The process is exactly like formatting any other text in a document.
Assuming your macro knows the name of the bookmark, it goes
something like this...

With ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("theBookmarkName").Range
.Font.Name = "Arial"
.Font.Size = 16
.Font.Bold = True
' ...
End With

If you have some other problem, please be more specific about
exactly what you want to do, what your current code contains, and
what's happening that isn't what you want.
