How to stop a macro

maceslin · #1 07-26-2012, 12:09 PM

I have created a macro to underline and change the color of the word(s) that I select using the macro builder. Macro works great when I execute but it will not "turn off", everything I type after highlighting my word(s) is in this format, it should only be the word(s) I select.

Here is the code

Code:

Sub NWDCtextin()
'
' NWDCtextin Macro
'
'
    Selection.Font.UnderlineColor = wdColorAutomatic
    Selection.Font.Underline = wdUnderlineSingle
    Selection.Font.Color = wdColorBlue
End Sub

Thanks for lookin'

Hi Dave,

That's because anything you type immediately after something that has a particular attribute inherits that attribute. If you leave a space after the selection before running the macro, all should be fine.

BTW, the better way to do this would be to define a character Style with the attributes you want.

Quick style was the way to go

Thanks
