Delete all Bold Text in a Macro

[Greg]

I can't figure out how to record a macro that deletes all Bold Text.

Here is what it recorded for me:

Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = ""
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

For some reason it doesn't record the fact that the format is all bold.

Can anyone help me?

the fact that the format is all bold.

Blame MS. It simply doesn't.

Try this:

Sub Macro10()
With ActiveDocument.Range.Find
.Font.Bold = True
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub

If you want to delete all bold text then use:

Sub Scratchmacro()
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
.Font.Bold = True
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub

If you want to remove the Bold formatting and leave the text you could use:
Sub ScratchmacroII()
ActiveDocument.Range.Font.Bold = False
End Sub
