Once a month I compile minutes for my Club. It has been the custom to make the names of committee members appear in 'bold' format. I am finding it tedious to have to keep on making them 'bold' when typing and wondered if I could automate this process? There are nine names.

Sure. Make them AutoCorrect which can hold format including bold. For example:

Yogi Bear

and assign it yb. You type yb and AutoCorrect puts in Yogi Bear, including the bold.

Thank you Yogi Bear. It sounds like what I need.

Actually Yogi Bear was just an example name.

Sorry fumei. That was dumb of me.

It is fine. It gave me a chuckle.
