VB Form in MS Word and Italics / Hyperlink

[chimichanga]

Hi all,

I'm sure this is a really basic question, but here goes anyway!

I have a userForm with some text boxes / check boxes etc and when a user clicks the check box i would like some text to appear in MS Word via a bookmark. This is all working fine, but i would like part of the text paragraph to be in Italics and another part to be a hyperlink.

For example, if i had the following sentence, i would like the word 'fox' to be italicised and the word http://www.lazydog.com to be a hyperlink:

The quick brown fox jumps over the http://www.lazydog.com

How do i make the word 'fox' italics and the other a hyperlink? In html, to make something italics you just surround the word with <I> Fox </I> or whatever, is there something similar in VB?

No doubt its dead easy, but its driving me bonkers :)

Thanks!

Hi,

You want certain part of text in Word Doc to be Italisiced..?

This, I have got from Macro Recording..:

Selection.TypeText Text:="the quick "
Selection.Font.Italic = wdToggle
Selection.TypeText Text:="brown"
Selection.Font.Italic = wdToggle
Selection.TypeText Text:=" fox "
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:= _
Selection.Range, Address:= _
"http://www.temp.com", SubAddress:="", _
ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay:="temp"
Selection.TypeText Text:=" Continue text..."
