Hi Susan,

Your definition of opening and closing parentheses is opposite mine.


For me, the opening one would be: "(" and closing: ")"

If you are doing this as you type, do you really need a macro?
Type your parentheses, and select the text.
Apply your style. You can do that with a keyboard shortcut attached to the style.

If you need a macro, do you want the style applied to the parentheses as well as the text?

Well, you are as usual, right.

It's just called laziness and wanting things to be automated.

And yes I want to include the parentheses in the style formatting.
Any and all help is highly appreciated.

Susan
