Thanks Paul for your reply. I am not sure I understand. What I want is not to hide but discard the text completely. Finally I would be saving the document.

There is no fixed text as I mentioned in the question. It is more about start position or end position. I have these as numbers and not text. The text/character at the start position can be a "Space" or a "Full Stop".
For example, let's say I have this simple text
Quote:

The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
|
And I want to keep only the text from 11th position till 31st position with the formatting and delete everything. If it was an unformatted string, I could have used
Code:
MyString = "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog"
Debug.Print Mid(MyString, 11, 31 - 11)
This would give me the desired text "brown fox jumps over" but the formatting is lost.
