Formatting in a Word Document

[pkrishna]

I have a word document with several articles/stories separated by column breaks. After each column break, a title appears, and then the text of that article.

Is there a way to detect the column break (that I know - look for ^14), select the next whole paragraph (article title), and apply a format (font size, bold) for it?

With a wildcard Find/Replace, you can use:
Find = ^14[!^13]@^13
As for the replacement, you should define a paragraph Style with the attributes you want and apply that via the Replace, rather than trying to hard-format the text.

May I request you to show me the syntax for the Replace part of this task too?

While I am somewhat familiar with VBA for Excel, I am a beginner as far as VBA for Word is concerned.

In this particular instance, I need only to do BOLD and set FontSize to a number (18). But I would like to know how refer to an existing style too.

Thanks.

Replace = ^&

This isn't vba, per se, though it could be encoded as such.

Once you've defined the Style, simply choose that via the Format options, just as you would a font attribute.
