Macro to format part of Company name
I am trying to setup a macro to find and change part of the company name to
italics. For example, the company name is HotPotato; all one word, but Potato is supposed to be italicized. I have setup AutoText for when I type in the name myself, but many times, I receive a document from someone else in the company and need to ensure that the name is formatted correctly. So far I haven't been successful with any macros that I have tried. Any suggestions? IS there a better way to do this? I am using Office 2003; won't be switching to 2007 for a few months (probably run into this issue again). Thank you for any help you might be able to give me. -- marcia

Macro to format part of Company name
You might find it easier to add a formatted AutoCorrect entry.

Thank you, I had already tried that but it didn't work on pages of text that
I had to pickup from someone else. It did work entries that I was typing. -- marcia "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: You might find it easier to add a formatted AutoCorrect entry. -- Suzanne S.
