I am trying to change font style of 2 repeating words that occur throughout a workbook either in a text string or singularly.

Changes:

"Chapter" to bold and red
"Section" to bold and blue

Looking for a simple code - thanks

Waterfall charts in Excel?
Office 365 customers have access to Waterfall charts since late 2016. They were added to Excel 2019.

Good day and Welcome to Mr. Excel

Try the below. I did my tests on a CommandButton...

VBA Code:
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Set TextRange = Range("A:A") 'Set your own range here
    partOfText = "Section" 'Change here the word you would like to format
    FontColor = vbBlue 'Change the color here e.g. vbRed, vbBlue
    FontBold = True
    For Each part In TextRange
        lenOfPart = Len(part)
        lenPartOfText = Len(partOfText)
        For i = 1 To lenOfPart
            tempStr = Mid(part, i, lenPartOfText)
            If tempStr = partOfText Then
                part.Characters(Start:=i, Length:=lenPartOfText).Font.Color = FontColor
                part.Characters(Start:=i, Length:=lenPartOfText).Font.Bold = FontBold
            End If
        Next i
    Next part
End Sub
