I've used macros and VBA in both Excel and Access. I'm trying to experiment
with Word macros - but I can't get anything to happen. I tried to record a
macro - when the "cassette" icon shows up - I can't do anything. I tried to
highlight some text in order to bold it but it wouldn't let me. So what am I
doing wrong? (Using Word 2007 BTW) Thanks for any help on this.

To bold the selected text, use

Selection.Font.Bold = True

Hope this helps.
