Hello list,

I have a A range object in which i insert some text. What I need to be able
to do is put a portion of that text into italics.. How can I achieve this?

For Example i have a line of text "The quick brown fox jumped" so i insert
that into the range object, and then I have some more text "over the lazy
dog." Now i insert that into the range object as well, but I need that text
to be italic.. Im now sure how to achieve this..

ANy help would be great thanks very much

Nathan

Hi Nathan,

Do it in pieces. Roughly:

Dim rng as Word.Range

Set rng = Selection.Range
rng.Text = "The quick brown fox jumped "
rng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
rng.Text = "over the lazy dog"
rng.Font.Italic = true
