Need to "find" an entire word and "replace" only part of it

If you need it to match just the font (Arial Regular, TNR Italic) and not
the font size, then you'll need to go with the two-step F&R, I'm afraid.

Yes Susan you are correct. Any ideas how to get the font to paste
correctly? If I put a formatted 11pt font on the clipboard, that is what it
pastes. So it overwrites for instance a heading that may have a different
font.

Thanks all. I have tried the simpler approach that Greg provided as
well
as the "dual pass" approach from Garfiled-n-odie.

Here is my status:
When trying Greg's approach, I typed the entry on the top of the page
and
cut it to the clipboard, the did a "findhighlight all in document" then
am
pasting to relace all selected text.
the wrong font size unfortunatly pastes throughout the document.
(understanding I would like to make a macro with this)

I was successful with the two pass approach from Garfiled-n-Odie but
am
having issues getting the macro to replicate my manual steps. This
however
is successfully adjusting the font size to the target.

Sincere thanks for the help you all have been. This seems like a
no-big-deal thing but is a constant burden.

Greetings,
This is easy for me to communicate wrong so I will try to be careful
in my description.

I have many documents that have a brand-name within it that needs to
be formatted with half of the word in an Arial font and half of the
word needs to be "Times Roman, Italicized". The first letter of the
word needs to be uppercase. This is constantly done wrong in
documents
(because it is a pain) so documents are violating branding
standards.

I would like to use Word to find all instances of the brand-name
(regardless of the formatting and replace them with properly
formatted
text.

I can find how to format an entire word with a formatted text. I
cannot find how to do a combination of fonts within a word nor can I
figure-out how to make the first letter upper-case.

If I can figure this out I can make a macro and place a button on
the
toolbar. It would be so cool.

I thought the whole idea was to replace the font?

Provided the font *size* remains the same, the technique can easily be put
into a macro. All you need to do is save the formatted text as an autotext
entry, then the following macro will work:

Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
NormalTemplate.AutoTextEntries("Brandname").Insert _
Whe=Selection.Range, RichText:=True
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Cut
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "Put the name to find here"
.Replacement.Text = "^c"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

If font size is important then you will have to try the double pass approach
as suggested by Suzanne.
