I want to make TEXT to get transparent. Cus when i highlight white text which was invisible, the highlighted text remain white. ] 1 So, is it possible to make text invisible by filling nothing or transparent in MACRO, VBA

Microsoft assumes that if you highlight text, it's because you want to see it. The usual solution is to mark the text as hidden. Here's an example using text that has been bookmarked: ActiveDocument.Bookmarks(BookmarkName").Range.Font.Hidden = True

i solved this myself. It's possible by vba "Selection.Font.Fill.Transparency = 1". But by 22.10.20, suddenly this macro doesn't work and all word program is shutted down. What can i do..

MS Word, is VBA possible to make text Transparent Or fill nothing.

Hi,
This issue is related to VBA, and I added the office-vba-dev tag.

Try the "No fill" option in the Format Text Effects dialog box.

To access the dialog box, click Text Effects in the Font dialog box (in Word for Windows, press Ctrl+D to quickly access the dialog box).

That's a different problem than what was originally posted. Please start a new thread.

I believe that the Transparency property is for objects, not for text. See https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/api/word.fillformat.transparency.

As John suggested, you may want to start a separate thread.
