Hello Graham,

I really appreciate your reply, and I have regularly looked at your excellent website.
When I looked at your reply I realised that the example I posted was probably a poor choice.

The paragraph produced by the other program is inserted at random locations throughout the document. I wanted to be able to select just those four inserted paragraphs and apply the manual formatting just to them and nothing else.

For some reason the original macro I was using applied the manual formatting to the first four paragraphs in the document. I also wasn't sure if my approach was the most efficient method.

How can I modify your macro to just edit the four selected paragraphs ?

Regards,
Dave T
