Exercise: Making Egypt appear bold in word search grid

A full answer to this exercise is provided as part of the training course!

1)	Download the files needed to start this exercise: exercise-115.zip (and click here if you experience any problems unzipping this file after downloading it).
2)	See if you can find the word Egypt in the search grid.
	Don't forget words can read up as well as down!
3)	Insert a module within the workbook.
4)	Create a macro to select the block of cells containing the word Egypt, and make them bold.
Your macro doesn't need to find the cells - just select them by reference.  To make a range appear bold, set its Font.Bold property to True (eg Range("A1").Font.Bold = True)
5)	Save and close this workbook.

Thank you for showing an interest in this Excel Visual Basic training course! As mentioned above, full answers to this and other exercises are provided on the course. On all Wise Owl scheduled courses delegates can take away these model answers (together with their own efforts!) on a free USB stick.
