Word Developer Reference

Contains font attributes (such as font name, font size and color) for an object.

Remarks

Use the Font property to return the Font object. The following instruction applies bold formatting to the selection.

  Selection.Font.Bold = True

The following example formats the first paragraph in the active document as 24point Arial and italic.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Range
With myRange.Font
    .Bold = True
    .Name = "Arial"
    .Size = 24
End With

The following example changes the formatting of the Heading 2 style in the active document to Arial and bold.

Visual Basic for Applications
  With ActiveDocument.Styles(wdStyleHeading2).Font
    .Name = "Arial"

You can use the New keyword to create a new, stand-alone Font object. The following example creates a Font object, sets some formatting properties, and then applies the Font object to the first paragraph in the active document.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Set myFont = New Font
myFont.Bold = True
myFont.Name = "Arial"
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(1).Range.Font = myFont

You can also duplicate a Font object by using the Duplicate property. The following example creates a new character style with the character formatting from the selection and italic formatting. The formatting of the selection is not changed.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Set aFont = Selection.Font.Duplicate
aFont.Italic = True
ActiveDocument.Styles.Add(Name:="Italics", _
    Type:=wdStyleTypeCharacter).Font = aFont
