Font formatting in VBE
in [Word VBA]
|
From: Doug G on 1 Mar 2010 09:36 I have some docvariables tied to docvariable fields of which some need to be BOLD fonts but others tied to the same field do not. If I bold the field in the document, then all the docvariables are bold which is not my intent. How can i selectively bold some but not all of the docvariables? I've tried to highlight the specific variable and "control-B" but it doesn't seem to have any affect. tx

From: Doug G on 1 Mar 2010 11:12 Greg, thanks for the reply I copy pasted your macro into a new macro but not sure how to apply your MsgBox. If i modify the DocVariable field, won't that affect all the DocVariables associated with that field. Also, i'm not familiar with what the ""\* CharFormat"" switch is and the underscore you referenced after the FORMAT" below. I think i understand making the "D" in docvariable bold, that one seems simple enough. Apologies for rookie questions.

From: Greg Maxey on 1 Mar 2010 12:01 Doug, I was being a bit playful. Your question seemed to deal with DocVariable fields (vice VBA) and I simply used a VBA messagebox function to provide an answer. Sorry for the confusion. Say you have created a variable named "Test" ActiveDocument.Variables("Test").Value = "This is a test" In the document you have several fields referencing that variable: { DocVariable Test }, {DocVariable Test}, etc. The oney you want to display as bold construct like this: {DocVariable Test \* CharFormat } and apply bold text to the "D" in "DocVariable.

From: Doug G on 4 Mar 2010 10:38 Greg, thanks for clarifying. I was able to get your solution to work however my situation is a reversed concept I think. My DocVariable Field is shared by a number of DocVariables that are pulled into the Active Document field based on a pull down menu macro. Some of these DocVariables I want in BOLD font whereas others I do not, e.g. DocVariable Field={DocVariable "varApplianceBrand"} and the DocVariable=ActiveDocument.Variables("varApplianceBrand").Value = "Frigidaire" or ActiveDocument.Variables("varApplianceBrand").Value = "General Electric" or ActiveDocument.Variables("varApplianceBrand").Value = "Viking" I would like to BOLD font the word "Viking" but not the others when it's applied to the field.
