Conditionally Deleteing Rows in Multiple Columns

I have the following macro which deletes rows based on the font format in column R. If the font is bold and italic then it deletes the entire row. The macro works but I am trying to modify it to include columns R:T, but I haven't figured out a way to do this. Any help is appreciated.

Code:
Sub DeleteStoppedJobs()
Dim wks As Worksheet
Dim iRow As Integer
 
    iRow = 1
 
    Set wks = Application.ActiveSheet
 
     Do Until wks.Cells(iRow, 18).Value = ""
 
        If wks.Cells(iRow, 18).Font.Bold = True And _
        wks.Cells(iRow, 18).Font.Italic = True Then
        wks.Rows(iRow).Delete
 
        Else
        iRow = iRow + 1
 
        End If
 
     Loop
 
 End Sub

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Try:
Code:
Sub DeleteStoppedJobs()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim wks As Worksheet
    Dim i As Long
    Set wks = Application.ActiveSheet
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = wks.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For i = LastRow To 1 Step -1
        If wks.Range(Cells(i, 18), Cells(i, 20)).Font.Bold = True And wks.Range(Cells(i, 18), Cells(i, 20)).Font.Italic = True Then
            wks.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
        End If
    Next i
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 End Sub

Thank you for your response but it doesn't work exactly. Maybe I didn't explain correctly but I need it to delete the entire row if any of the columns has bold/italic font. The code you wrote only deletes the row if the font is bold/italic in all the columns (R:T) within the same row. If one of the column is not bold/italic then it doesn't delete the row.


Try:
Code:
Sub DeleteStoppedJobs()
    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim wks As Worksheet
    Dim i As Long
    Set wks = Application.ActiveSheet
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = wks.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For i = LastRow To 1 Step -1
        If wks.Range(Cells(i, 18), Cells(i, 20)).Font.Bold = True And wks.Range(Cells(i, 18), Cells(i, 20)).Font.Italic = True Then
            wks.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
        End If
    Next i
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 End Sub

Code:

    Application.ScreenUpdating = False
    Dim wks As Worksheet
    Dim i As Long
    Dim rng As Range
    Set wks = Application.ActiveSheet
    Dim LastRow As Long
    LastRow = wks.Cells.Find("*", SearchOrder:=xlByRows, SearchDirection:=xlPrevious).Row
    For i = LastRow To 1 Step -1
        For Each rng In wks.Range(Cells(i, 18), Cells(i, 20))
            If rng.Font.Bold = True And rng.Font.Italic = True Then
                wks.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
                Exit For
            End If
        Next rng
    Next i
    Application.ScreenUpdating = True
 End Sub

This works perfect, I even added "And rng.Font.Underline = xlUnderlineStyleSingle" as a third factor and still works.

Thank you
