How do I make text bold?

[Rachel Hayes]

I am using some code to copy database entries into a word document. I've defined some variables and then inserted these variables into the word document using bookmarks. Is there a way to make part of the variable appear in a bold font?

Thanks

I've played with some code a little and have had limited success, but hopefully it will point you in the right direction.

1. Declare a Modular Object Variable that will point to an Instance of Word.
   

   Dim objWord As Word.Application

2. Launch Word and Open C:\Test\Test.doc, Insert Text at a pre-defined Bookmark (Bookmark2), and Format the 1st 12 characters as BOLD.
   

   Set objWord = New Word.Application
    
   objWord.Documents.Open "C:\Test\Test.doc"
   objWord.Visible = True
    
   'Insert Text at pre-defined Bookmark
   With objWord.ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
     .Item("Bookmark1").Range.Text = "Super_Dooper_Variable_Name"
        Selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=12, Extend:=wdExtend
        Selection.Font.Bold = wdToggle
   End With

3. Quit the Instance of Word, (not in the same Procedure), and set the Object Variable to Nothing
   

   objWord.Quit
   Set objWord = Nothing
