VBA Word trying to shade SELECTED cells in one table in word that are bold
Question
I am used in Excel and am not very experienced with Word VBA. I don't know how to get at a selection from a word table. I have tried something like the below but I don't know how to specify the selection from the currently selected table.
Sub Fill_Bold()
For Each Cell In Selection.Cells
If Cell.Font.Bold = True Then
Cell.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorRed
End If
Next Cell
End Sub
Solution
It's a bit unclear what you are asking about but I prepared the answer referring to the title of your question. Assumptions:
- your selection is within any table
- you want to search for any cell which is bold
- fill it with red color.
Here is your code improved where required:
Sub Fill_Bold()
Dim myCell
For Each myCell In Selection.Tables(1).Range.Cells
If myCell.Range.Font.Bold = True Then
myCell.Shading.BackgroundPatternColor = wdColorRed
End If
Next myCell
End Sub
Important! You can't use cell variable
name as cell
is an object in Word, in fact both cell
and cells
are object/collection.
