I am working on a macro that will get info from the user and insert it at a
bookmark in the document text.  If the user doesn't enter info, I want to
provide reminder text for later editing (but I don't want this to appear as
default text in the input box), AND I'd like to highlight the reminder text.  
Sample code is:

' Get the mailing and receipt dates from the user;
       MailDate1 = InputBox(MailMsg & Doc1)

' If no user input, define and format help text
       If MailDate1 = "" Then
           MailDate1 = "ENTER MAILING DATE"
       End If
           
' Go to the bookmark and enter the date
       .Bookmarks("Mail1").Range _
       .InsertAfter MailDate1

Is there a way to easily highlight the help text without doing a
find/replace or similar action?

Thanks much in advance.  Enjoy your weekend!
