Keep source formatting when pasting ranges to a shape

[Mads_BDP]

Hi all

I have a workbook with 2 different worksheets. In the first worksheet you type in different information. When clicking on the other worksheet the data from the first worksheet is then copied and pasted into shapes in the second worksheet.
I have a challenge of keeping the source formatting when pasting the ranges into my shape. I want some of the ranges to be bold and the other should just stay as they are.

In the below I have highlighted the ranges that I want to be bold and my code:

Private Sub CopySparring(ShtSrc As Worksheet, ShtDst As Worksheet)
Dim shp As Shape

With ShtSrc

ShtDst.Shapes("Sparring").TextFrame.Characters.Text = _
Range("Strength") & Chr(13) _
& .Range("Sparring_Str") & Chr(13) & Chr(13) _
& .Range("Devel") & Chr(13) _
& .Range("Sparring_Dev") & Chr(13) & Chr(13) _
& .Range("Overall_Eva") & Chr(13) _
& .Range("Overall_feedback")

End With

Set shp = ShtDst.Shapes("Sparring")
ChangeFont shp

End Sub

I hope someone can help me.

Thanks

Hi & welcome to MrExcel.
How about

Private Sub CopySparring(ShtSrc As Worksheet, ShtDst As Worksheet)
   With ShtDst.Shapes("Sparring").TextFrame
      .Characters.Font.Bold = False
      .Characters.Text = _
         ShtSrc.Range("Strength") & Chr(13) _
         & ShtSrc.Range("Sparring_Str") & Chr(13) & Chr(13) _
         & ShtSrc.Range("Devel") & Chr(13) _
         & ShtSrc.Range("Sparring_Dev") & Chr(13) & Chr(13) _
         & ShtSrc.Range("Overall_Eva") & Chr(13) _
         & ShtSrc.Range("Overall_feedback")
      .Characters(1, Len(ShtSrc.Range("Strength"))).Font.Bold = True
      .Characters(Len(ShtSrc.Range("Strength")) + Len(ShtSrc.Range("Sparring_Str")) + 4, Len(ShtSrc.Range("Devel"))).Font.Bold = True
   End With
End Sub

Thank you!

It is working perfect for the 2 first ranges (Strength and Sparring_Str) but the last range does not format as bold?

That's because I left you to do the last part.

Hi again

I tried below:

With ShtDst.Shapes("Sparring").TextFrame
.Characters.Font.Bold = False
.Characters.Text = _
ShtSrc.Range("Strength") & Chr(13) _
& ShtSrc.Range("Sparring_Str") & Chr(13) & Chr(13) _
& ShtSrc.Range("Devel") & Chr(13) _
& ShtSrc.Range("Sparring_Dev") & Chr(13) & Chr(13) _
& ShtSrc.Range("Overall_Eva") & Chr(13) _
& ShtSrc.Range("Overall_feedback")
.Characters(1, Len(ShtSrc.Range("Strength"))).Font.Bold = True
.Characters(Len(ShtSrc.Range("Strength")) + Len(ShtSrc.Range("Sparring_Str")) + 4, Len(ShtSrc.Range("Devel"))).Font.Bold = True
.Characters(Len(ShtSrc.Range("Strength")) + Len(ShtSrc.Range("Sparring_Str")) + Len(ShtSrc.Range("Devel")) + 4, Len(ShtSrc.Range("Overall_Eva"))).Font.Bold = True
End With

But this formats completely random from Devel and down. I can't sort it out - can you please give me an hint?

You need to add the length of the "Sparring_Dev" range as you don't want that to be bold & change the 4 to 7 (it's the number of carriage returns +1)
