Bold color

[rob p]

I am working with a macro that colors text in a table cell.
Cell.Range.Font.Color = wdColorBlack / White / Gray50 etc. This is a Word
2000 - template.

When setting the font to ColorBlack, I want a really dark black, not just
black. How can I adjust above so I can get specifically the font Arial Bold
or the font Arial in bold for the instances ? (Arial is the default to begin
with.) ColorBlack just gives me regular Arial.

Thanks much.

You would have to write your code so that it explictly applies this
formatting. You can't simply redefine the color so that it means something
else.

Hi.

I don't want to change anything. I just can't see where I set the color bold
with the wdColor property. Or if not that property, I haven't found another
that will do what I want.
Thanks.

This is because you do not set the bold property with the ".Color" property,
but with the ".Bold" propert, as in:

Cell.Range.Font.Bold = True

Excellent. That is exactly what I needed. I wasn't putting in the true /
false part.
