Macros

[David]

I am still having problems. In Word 2003 I create a Macro, in bold and
it is different each day. When I create it, for some reason it changes
to plain type every other time but I need it bold every time.I was told
to edit the Macro to keep it bold every time I use it and I can now do
that. However, each day I have to do the same thing. How do I keep this
as a default setting so each day the settings are the same and it will
come out bold each time. Thank you. David

Hi,

the only thing I can think about,
would be

With Selection.Font
.Bold = Not .Bold
End With

used once every other day.

Hello David,

I think you've posted this before and been answered before.

The bold button on the formatting toolbar is a toggle button. When you
record it, you record the toggle operation. It changes whatever the bold
setting is to its opposite.

Selection.font.bold = (clng(Now)/2 = clng(Now)\2)

This rings a bell - I think I answered you before and you replied something
to the effect that you were recording a macro every day to insert the date
and that every time you did it you had to go and edit the (new) macro - to
which I may not have replied further - if so, my apologies.

The thing to do - if I have remembered correctly - is, rather than typing
the date, use Insert > Date from the Menu (and record yourself doing it).
You should then have a macro (which you might need to change once for the
bolding) which should then work every day without the need for re-recording.

Come back if that doesn't help.

Sadly, this does not help. What I need is the date in bold every time.
Using Insert/date is fine but it still comes out bold every second time
I use it. I am sorry to be such a dunce but I guess I am more of a
novice than I thought!

 

[Tony Jollans]

Record the macro to insert the date in bold once (by using Insert > Date).
In the recorded code, change the setting of Bold to True

That should be all you need to do. The macro will then always insert the
current date in bold.

The following will insert the date at the location of the selection in the
format indicated, apply bold formatting to it, then insert a space after the
date and turn off the bold formatting as I assume that you do not want the
following text that is enterded to have that formatting:

Dim myrange As Range
Set myrange = Selection.Range
myrange.Text = Format(Date, "dd MMMM yyyy")
myrange.Font.Bold = True
myrange.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
myrange.Text = " "
myrange.Font.Bold = False
myrange.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
myrange.Select

Why not post the code you have recorded so we can see what you have going
on?
