Partial bold formatting of content control

If there is more than one control in the document then it must be limited to the control either by checking against the current control's title or tag. It is also advisable to check whether the control is showing the placeholder text e.g.

Code:

Private Sub Document_ContentControlOnExit(ByVal CCtrl As ContentControl, Cancel As Boolean)
    With CCtrl
        If CCtrl.Title = "Names" Then    'the name of the control
            If CCtrl.ShowingPlaceholderText = False Then
                .Type = wdContentControlRichText
                .Range.Font.Bold = False
                .Range.Words.First.Font.Bold = True
                .Type = wdContentControlDropdownList
            Else
                .Range.Font.Bold = False
            End If
        End If
    End With
End Sub
