Is it possible to change Message Box Fonts or even in the middle of a msg box
highlight a particular word and put a graphic in it like a stop button or
exclamation mark

thanks

The fast and rigid answer to yr question is:
No

The real answer to yr question is:
Yes, but it takes a lot of calls to the Windows API.
You'll wind up with a DLL dependant application and all for a short info
dialog.
It's really not worth the (development) hassle.

Advice to yr question:
shape a userform to behave like a MsgBox, do all the fancy stuff there
and you'll windup having a versatile MsgBox-like dialog.

If you still want to make use of some shareware tools look here:

Again, y're better of creating yr own MsgBox.

Krgrds,
Perry
