Hey team! I have the following code:

Sub Bold_and_Red_Text()
'
' Converts all instances of the designated string, in all selected cells to Red & Bolds them.
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Q
'
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range
Dim cFnd As String
Dim xTmp As String
Dim x As Long
Dim m As Long
Dim y As Long
cFnd = InputBox("Enter the text string to highlight *NOTE* Input is case sensitive!")
y = Len(cFnd)
For Each Rng In Selection
With Rng
m = UBound(Split(Rng.Value, cFnd))
If m > 0 Then
xTmp = ""
For x = 0 To m - 1
xTmp = xTmp & Split(Rng.Value, cFnd)(x)
.Characters(Start:=Len(xTmp) + 1, Length:=y).Font.ColorIndex = 3
.Characters(Start:=Len(xTmp) + 1, Length:=y).Font.Bold = True
xTmp = xTmp & cFnd
Next
End If
End With
Next Rng
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub

What would you recommend modifying If I also wanted to be able to search for the word "shall", and it automatically find instances of "shall" & "Shall". It would then convert all of them to "SHALL" in addition to changing the color index / bold?
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
I found my own solution. Please see the below, regardless though, thank you for reviewing.

Option Compare Text

Sub Bold_and_Red_Text()
'
' Converts all instances of the designated string, in all selected cells to Red & Bolds them.
'
' Keyboard Shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+Q
'
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range
Dim cFnd As String
Dim xTmp As String
Dim x As Long
Dim m As Long
Dim y As Long
cFnd = InputBox("Enter the text string to highlight *NOTE* Input is case sensitive!")
y = Len(cFnd)
For Each Rng In Selection
With Rng
m = UBound(Split(Rng.Value, cFnd))
If m > 0 Then
xTmp = ""
For x = 0 To m - 1
xTmp = xTmp & Split(Rng.Value, cFnd)(x)

Rng.Replace What:=cFnd, Replacement:=UCase(cFnd)
.Characters(Start:=Len(xTmp) + 1, Length:=y).Font.ColorIndex = 3
.Characters(Start:=Len(xTmp) + 1, Length:=y).Font.Bold = True

xTmp = xTmp & cFnd
Next
End If
End With
Next Rng
Application.ScreenUpdating = True

End Sub
