Formatting Macro   

Hi guys,

I am  a proposal writer with an investment bank and I'm trying to develop a 
macro in word that would automate the process of formatting my proposal when 
its done. The difficulty I'm faced with is the fact that the formatting 
guidelines are quite rigid and I'm not sure how to go about doing the macro 
for certain functions. The proposal is designed such that, the client asks a 
couple of questions and for each questions an answer needs to be given. And 
thus the formatting. 

Below are the formatting guidelines:

a) font for all Questions to be Arial size 11, color is R84, G130, B171 and 
Indentation, zero and font for answers  to be garamond 11, colour black. 
b) All text is left justified.
c)  Margins are set at 1 inch from the top, bottom, and left and right sides.
d) Questions should be indented ¼ inch to the right of the left margin.
e) Tables are Garamond 10, single space; blue shading for the headings; and 
center data.

Re: Formatting Macro   

Using a macro is not the way to do this.  You should define a style for the 
Questions and another one for the Answers.
