Bold Content Control Placeholder

[therexjones]

I have a content control on a template, which has the placeholder text in bold. I used design mode to get the text into bold in the first place.

I am trying to create a code that will change the placeholder text (based on options in a userform), but retain the bold formatting.

The code below changed the text, but the bold formatting is lost. What do I need to add to control the formatting?

Sub ChangePlaceholder()

Dim objCC As ContentControl
 
Set objCC = ActiveDocument.SelectContentControlsByTag("myContentControl").Item(1)
    objCC.SetPlaceholderText , , "New Placeholder Text"

End Sub
