I also define a 'spacing' paragraph style, with a small font size, to go just before and after program code, to get nice spacing. I then simply set program code paragraphs to the above named style. Bold is easy to get: Ctrl+B to switch it on/off when typing; highlight text then Ctrl+B to do it retroactively.

This is the easy part. > Bold is easy to get: Ctrl+B to switch it on/off when typing; highlight text > then Ctrl+B to do it retroactively. This is the hard part. I don't have the patience (or accuracy) to select several hundred keywords in a hundred lines of code and press Ctrl+B for each one. That's what I'd like a macro or VB script to do for me. -- Terry J. Westley, Principal Engineer Calspan SRL Corp, P.O.

I just set up a paragraph style called "code" that uses courier new, etc. Then I apply it to the code text in the document. Works reasonbly well. Of course if your looking to bold-face keywords you could write a macro or VBA module to do a search and replace based on style and affecting only text with the "code" style. In that case I would suggest also creating character styles for keywords, comments, etc. that only affect the font and style (bold, italic, etc.) I may just try this myself...hmm ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Todd Coniam tconiam@aol.com Ada 95 - The international standard in OO languages ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check: http://lglwww.epfl.ch/Ada/ Free compiler: http://www.gnat.com/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 6+ messages in thread
