Formatting button with preset formats
I have a rolling report where I update issues on a timely basis and what
I do is type the new information in an existing cell full of previous information and then carefully format the new text so that it is Bold and 2pts larger in text. This helps to highlight the new items. Once the report has been faxed I globally format the text to the same size to await any new text. Is there a code which I can attach to a button whereby I select the new text and then press the button so that it formats both bold and size at the same time please ? Thanks TW --- Message posted from http://www.ExcelForum.com/ |

Hi TW
Record a Macro doing exactly what you have described. Bold, 2pts larger, print, reformat to original size. Once the Macro is done, create a Command Button using your Forms Toolbar. Place the Button somewhere on the screen. Right Click on it to change it's name from Command Button to whatever you prefer and then right click on it again and assign the Macro you have created, to it. Now, whenever you click that button the Macro will run all of the above commands.
