How to Search Bold Text (Range) using Excel VBA

Search Formatted Text using Excel VBA / Extract Boldfaced Range using Excel VBA / Excel VBA Tag Bold Text

The following code identifies the bold text and ‘tags’ them

Sub Tag_Bold()

Dim oWS As Worksheet

Dim oRng As Range

Dim FirstUL

Set oWS = ActiveSheet

Application.FindFormat.Clear

Application.FindFormat.Font.Bold = True

Set oRng = oWS.Range("A1:A1000").Find(What:="", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _

xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, SearchFormat:=True)

If Not oRng Is Nothing Then

FirstUL = oRng.Row

Do

oRng.Font.Bold = False ' Use this if you want to remove bold

oRng.Value2 = "" & oRng.Value2 & ""

Set oRng = oWS.Range("A" & CStr(oRng.Row + 1) & ":A1000").Find(What:="", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:= _

xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, SearchFormat:=True)

Loop While Not oRng Is Nothing

End If

End Sub

In the above code we have used

Application.FindFormat.Clear

Clears the criterias set in the FindFormat property and then set the format to find using

Application.FindFormat.Font.Bold = True

  2. We are assigning a Worksheet Range A1:A1000 to the Range object

    Can you try

    Set oRng = oWS.Range("A1:A1000").Find(What:="", LookIn:=xlValues, LookAt:=xlPart, SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlNext, SearchFormat:=True)

    The above should be in single line

    This worked for me:

    Sub Tag_Bold()
    For Each c In [A1:A10]
    If c.Font.Bold = True Then
    c.Value2 = "-" & c.Value2 & "-"
    End If
    Next
    End Sub

    seems quite a bit faster...
