Hi Gents,

Hopefully this is pretty self-explanatory, If you see my code below, I want to only change the Font Color to the text within "societyname" not the actual text quoted before it.

How can I do this? This is in MSWord.

Hopefully you can help.

Cheers
Chris

Code:
objTable.Cell(1, 1).Range = "SOCIETY NAME: " & societyname
 

Excel Facts

Pivot Table Drill Down
Double-click any number in a pivot table to create a new report showing all detail rows that make up that number
With code like:
Code:
Dim Rng As Range
Set Rng = objTable.Cell(1, 1).Range
With Rng
  .End = .End - 1
  .Text = "SOCIETY NAME: "
  .Collapse wdcollpaseend
  .Text = societyname
  .Font.ColorIndex = wdRed
End With

  .Text = societyname
  .Font.ColorIndex = wdRed
End With

It doesnt like ".End = .End - 1"

Would there be an easier way to do all the variables I am putting into the cells? They all need to be red and Bold.

Thanks in advance.

It does if you're running the code from within Word. Since you're running it from another app, you need to redefine Rng appropriately (i.e. Dim Rng as Object).

Not really.

Thanks for your reply, that fixed the error for .End = .End -1. However it didn’t change the text color? Do I have to make “wdcollpassend” and “wdred” equal something?

Cheers
Chris

You should be using Option Explicit; that way you'd be warned about things like wdcollpaseend and wdRed. Replace them with 0 and 6, respectively.
