.FontStyle = "Regular"
.Size = 10
End With
' Establish replacement criteria.
With Application.ReplaceFormat.Font

.FontStyle = "Bold"
.Size = 8
End With
' Notify user.
With Application.ReplaceFormat.Font
MsgBox .Name & "-" & .FontStyle & "-" & .Size & _
" font is what the search criteria will replace cell formats with."
End With
' Make the replacements on the worksheet.
