I am using Visual Basic 6 to develop programs. The user enters some data to text boxes. The program creates a Word documents using those values as well as some other texts (labels). The user wants that the values entered by him should appear as bold, while the labels should be plain text. I can apply different styles like bold, underline to an entire paragraph using range, but am unable to apply bold formatting to a particular word in a paragraph. Please help me.
Thank You.
