MS Office Forum / Word / Programming / July 2005Macro Font
Is it possible to format(font, size, color) a single word in a macro? Lilbit was telling us: Lilbit nous racontait que : > Is it possible to format(font, size, color) a single word in a macro? Yes.

I'll try that. I've been trying to get my password in my macro appear indistinguishable. Now I know how to do it. Step back a moment and describe again what you are trying to achieve. What Password? Stored where? Used for what purpose? It just strikes me that if you are looking to hide your password for instance by coloring it white, this is a very insecure approach.

If there is a more secure solution (other than involving VB6), please let me know. Thanks a whole lot!! Oops! I forgot to answer your questions. The password is stored in a spellcheck macro. The spell check macro unprotects the form, using the password. When spell check is completed, the macro protects the form, again, with the password.

They are better because they can be created or modified only through VBA. e.g: Dim GetPassword As String ActiveDocument.Variables("myvar").Value = "MyPassword" GetPassword = ActiveDocument.Variables("myvar").Value Make sure the variables exists before retrieving it or you will get an error. See the online help for more info on document variables.

In addition, since any document variable can be read by anybody who knows how to write a short VBA macro, I would recommend that you try to obfuscate the password in some fashion. It won't save you from anyone who has a program to crack your VBA project password (you *have* applied a pssword to your VBA code?), but will protect you against ordinary inquisitive users.
