Reason: Added CODE tags.
i did a bit of copy and paste, and tested your code, appeared to work correctly to bold, but no highlight
add one line
Code:
.Replacement.Highlight = True
i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case. Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next
dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part
come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

i was using your samples, which contained characters that i assumed were chinese

Thank you .paul.
It does not work on my MacBook with the Chinese characters ; (
If I search English words, that words perfectly.
I'll try on a PC Monday.
Thanks again.
