    Case insensitive search strings

    I use the below macro (thanks Dave Peterson) to format specific words in a range of Excel cells.

    I would like to make the search terms (myWords) case insensitive and I've tried using MatchCase, but apparently I'm using it incorrectly or in the wrong place.

    Can someone help?

    The Find method is case insensitive by default so your macro should work "as-is". Can you attach a sample so we can see why it's not working?

    From what i have found, if you do not declare case sensitive part within the Find statement then VBA Find will default to whatever the last manual options were. If your last manual Find was case sensitive then your next VBA Find will be unless you declare otherwise.

    This is why i have included the True in the case sensitive part of the Find.

    Re: Case insensitive search strings

    Find's case sensitivity is also dependent on any other finds that have been done in the current session of Excel. However, you also need to alter this part:
