Sample Visual Basic Procedure
NOTE: This code will generate a run-time error if nothing is selected or if the current selection is invalid. Sub SetFontBold

' Used to store a font object reference. Dim oFont As font

' Get a reference to the font property. Set oFont = ActiveWindow.Selection.TextRange.font

' See whether the selected text is bold. If oFont.Bold <> msoTrue Then oFont.Bold = msoTrue Else ' The font selection was already bold. MsgBox "The selected text is already bold." End If

End Sub
