Im looking for the VBA code to search a spreadsheet and find a specific word and replace it with another, but the replacement word has to be underlined.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Excel Facts

Control Word Wrap
Press Alt+Enter to move to a new row in a cell. Lets you control where the words wrap.
Could give the following a shot:

Sub ReplaceAndUnderline()
Dim rFound As Range
Dim szFirst As String
Dim iCount As Integer
Dim oldval As String
Dim newval As String
oldval = "test"
newval = "testing"
Set rFound = Cells.Find(what:=oldval, lookat:=xlWhole)
iCount = 0
Do While Not rFound Is Nothing
If szFirst = "" Then
szFirst = rFound.Address
ElseIf rFound.Address = szFirst Then
Exit Do
End If
rFound.Value = Application.Substitute(rFound.Value, _
oldval, newval)
rFound.Font.Underline = True
iCount = iCount + 1
Set rFound = Cells.FindNext(rFound)
Loop
End Sub

Just change the oldval and newval strings.


Cheers,

Nate
