Characters Object

Excel Developer Reference

Represents characters in an object that contains text.

Remarks

The Characters object lets you modify any sequence of characters contained in the full text string.

Use Characters(

start

,

length

), where

start

is the start character number and

length

is the number of characters, to return a Characters object.

Example
The following example adds text to cell B1 and then makes the second word bold.

Visual Basic for Applications
  With Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("B1")
    .Value = "New Title"
    .Characters(5, 5).Font.Bold = True
End With

The Characters method is necessary only when you need to change some of an object’s text without affecting the rest (you cannot use the Characters method to format a portion of the text if the object doesn’t support rich text). To change all the text at the same time, you can usually apply the appropriate method or property directly to the object. The following example formats the contents of cell A5 as italic.

Visual Basic for Applications
  Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A5").Font.Italic = True
