Macros

[Guest]

Hello,

I use Macros to type words I use many times in my document. I would like
these words to come out in Bold type. So when I record a new macro I hit
Ctrl+B for bold, type my word and then stop recording. But when I run the
macro only every other time it is bold. What can be done so that every time I
run it the word comes out bold.

I guess you have a recorded macro with something like ...

Selection.Font.Bold = Not Selection.Font.Bold

or something of the sort. Try changing it to ...

Selection.Font.Bold = True

Better yet, probably, use Autotexts or Autocorrects for the words you
regularly use.

Macros are overkill for this purpose. What you want is AutoText or
AutoCorrect entries (either of which can be formatted). See
