How do i make a string bold

Question

hi,

I'm creating a word document programatically using VBA.

1) I have a a string with value - "Strategy". I want to make it bold and to be displayed in the word document.

I have tried this below, but the text is never changed:

Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")

Dim strategy As String
strategy = "STRATEGY"
Dim objWdRange As Word.Range


wrdApp.Visible = True
Set wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open("C:\Program Files\DailyStrategy.doc")


With wrdDoc
    If wrdDoc.Bookmarks.Exists("MarketCommentry") Then
        wrdDoc.Bookmarks("MarketCommentry").Range.Text =  strategy 

    Set objWdRange = wrdDoc.Content
     With objWdRange.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Replacement.ClearFormatting
        .Text = "STRATEGY"

        'Make found bold and italic
        With .Replacement.Font
            .Bold = True
            .Italic = True
        End With
        .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    End With
End With

End If regards

EDIT:: I should have better tried in the VBA debugger first, which I did now. This one should work:

With wrdDoc
   Set objWdRange = wrdDoc.Content
    With objWdRange.Find
       .ClearFormatting
       .Text = "STRATEGY"
       .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceNone
   End With
End With

If objWdRange.Find.Found Then
  'Make found bold and italic
  With objWdRange.Font
       .Bold = True
      .Italic = True
  End With
End If

If you can select the string try something like

Selection.Font.Bold = True

and see if that works
