I have this working code but would like to apply bold and underline to this line of code:

.InsertBefore "Please Review, loan not financeable for bond in its current state." & vbCr & vbCr & boldtext & vbCr & Worksheets("Manager Report").Range("C32").value _

I tried using a variable called boldtext and am using the /b to bold but it displays the email as if it were regular text with the /b as if it wer part of the string.
How can I tweak this to make the text bold and underline?

I alos posted in Stackoverflow

VBA Code:
Public Sub ScreenShotResults4_with_Current()
Sheets("Manager Report").Unprotect Password:="Mortgage1"
            Dim Rng As Range
            Dim olApp As Object
            Dim Email As Object
            Dim Sht As Excel.Worksheet
            Dim wdDoc As Word.Document
            Dim boldtext As String
            boldtext = "<b>Issue:</b>"
Call HideAllImages

            Set Rng = Sheets("Manager Report").Range("C4:F35")
                Rng.CopyPicture Appearance:=xlScreen, Format:=xlPicture
            'Sheets("Summary").Branch_ChkBox.Visible = False
            
            'Row1Circle Sheets("Summary").CheckBoxes("Branch_ChkBox").Visible = False
            
            With Application
                .EnableEvents = False
                .ScreenUpdating = False
            End With
        
            Set olApp = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
            Set Email = olApp.CreateItem(0)

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Can't use rtf or html formatting in plain text body if that's what you're saying you have. Must be html or rtf. Try
.BodyFormat = olFormatHTML before .HTMLbody line, or if you use rtf, perhaps

.BodyFormat = olFormatRichText then
.RTFbody = "something"

I tried this but got error Method or data member not found, I am not a coder, I an amateur :(, I am sure I am doing something obviously wrong but cannot figure it out

VBA Code:
If Worksheets("Manager Report").Range("F24").value = "Not Financeable" Or Worksheets("Manager Report").Range("F24").value = "Additional Docs Needed to Proceed" Then
        .InsertBefore "Please Review, loan not financeable for bond in its current state." & vbCr & vbCr & .BodyFormat = olFormatRichText & .RTFBody = "Issues:" & vbCr & Worksheets("Manager Report").Range("C32").value _
        & vbCr & vbCr & "Solution:" & vbCr & Worksheets("Manager Report").Range("C38").value & vbCr & vbCr

- you should post the entire procedure unless it's huge. If so, condense if you know how to eliminate the unrelated parts
- you should indicate which line raises the error(s)

That code uses a style that belongs in a With block and I see no With block so it doesn't provide a whole lot of information.
