Trying to reference my range variable to format the new range... doing something wrong!

I am trying to insert a row above the cells that have text values that begin with the word "ASSET", and the same thing for "Income".
I've got my code below working up to a point
It inserts the row above ASSETS and INCOME correctly
then I want to select cells (B?:D?") to format those 3 cells in the row I just inserted

I thought I would just Dim Asset as Range
and then
Set Asset= Range("B:D" & Assets)

but that isn't working. Any help is appreciated.
Code:
Sub InsertCats2()


'If Sheets("Publish Doc List").Range("Z1:Z100") = "" Then


Dim Assets As Integer, Income As Integer


With Sheets("Publish Doc List")
    Assets = .Range("D:D").Find(what:="ASSETS", after:=.Range("D1")).Row
    
    Income = .Range("D:D").Find(what:="INCOME", after:=.Range("D1"), searchdirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    
End With
    Debug.Print Assets
    Debug.Print Income
    
    Range("D" & Assets).EntireRow.Insert
    Range("D" & Income).EntireRow.Insert
    
    Dim AssetHDR As Range
    Dim IncomeHDR As Range
    
    Set AssetHDR = Range("B:D" & Assets)
    Set IncomeHDR = Range("B:D" & Income)
    
    Debug.Print AssetHDR
    Debug.Print IncomeHDR

Highlight Duplicates
Home, Conditional Formatting, Highlight Cells, Duplicate records, OK to add pink formatting to any duplicates in selected range.
Try
Code:
Set AssetHDR = Range("B" & Assets).Resize(, 3)

Assets and Income are single row numbers.
So if you substitute them into your Range declaration, it would look something like this (if Assets was 44):
Code:
Set AssetHDR = Range("B:D44")
which is not a valid range.

Try this format:
Code:
Set AssetHDR = Range("B" & Assets & ":D" & Assets)
which will return:
Code:
Set AssetHDR = Range("B44:D44")
which is a valid range.


EDIT: Or more simply, do it the way that Fluff posted above!
