I have to set certains words in a document typeface to bold from plain text.
When I record a macro in Word to "replace all" nothing happens. If I
manually "replace all" or "replace", the typeface sets properly to bold. It
is as if the macro is not examining the document

Hi Douglas

The macro recorder has a bug, and it fails to record your choice of
formatting.

Go to http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...ordedMacro.htm and look
at the section titled "Fixing broken Replace macros". It will show you how
to fix the macro you recorded.

It is very difficult to guess what is happening without your code being
posted.

Why not simply mark the words you want to emphasize in a custom character
style and then change the formatting of that style to bold?
