How do I highlight text when recording a macro?

[Guest]

I'm trying to learn how to record macros. One thing I'm supposed to do is to
highlight some text and change the font. But I can't highlight the text
unless I pause the recording, and then when I open my macro after I've
finished, the font changes aren't there. Can someone tell me what I'm doing
wrong? Thanks. I'm using Microsoft Office 2003.

The recorder has a hard time with mouse selection. Instead, use the Shift
key together with the arrow keys to highlight text.

Here's some reading material that may help:
