Hello,

Right now, I have a Excel file that export the content of specified cells to a Word document. To maintain a certain order in the data that i'm exporting, I used two collections of range() that represent the objectifs and the associated answer.

Here's my problem, once the objectifs is exported to word I would like to select the line and apply formatting to it (i.e Arial 14 Bold). But since I'm using collection instead of a copy/paste method, I'm can't find the neccessary code to select the line I want to format.

Could anybody help me

Thanks

Which Excel functions can ignore hidden rows?
The SUBTOTAL and AGGREGATE functions ignore hidden rows. AGGREGATE can also exclude error cells and more.
Hi Billy,

Since VBA, whether in Word or Excel, can access the entire Word object model, it is really a matter of deciding the best way to look for the data. Probably the easiest way to find data in Word from VBA is to place a bookmark where the data is located (or will be inserted) or to place the data in a Word table where its location can be expressed as a table name and cell row and column indices. But you can also search for a text string using the Word Find capability, or if you know the number of the paragraph section, etc., these can be used to find the data. You might start by asking yourself the question: "if the document were 1000 pages long, how would I find the line you want to format manually?"

Once you settle on how you want to find the line you want to format, implementing it in VBA should be a snap.
