Edit Replace?

Hi ElBenno,

Not a macro, however, you could use Edit Replace command.

Type a Q in both the Find What box, and the Replace with box.
Click on More, BE SURE to click on the Q in teh Replace with box, then click on Format, Font, change teh Font color to red.
Click OK, followed by Replace All.

This will change all occurances of Q to Q in red text. Only uppercase Q will change not lowercase q's.

I sampled it trying words like Que, Quigly, Quicken, Quiver, Quam

Hope this helps,
Paul
