Hi Mark,I got an error with that as well, but I figured out the correct way: import win32com.client xl = win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('Excel.Application') xl.Visible = True xl.Workbooks.Add() c = xl.ActiveCell c.FormulaR1C1 = 'Hello World' c.GetCharacters(1,5).Font.ColorIndex = 3 c.GetCharacters(7,5).Font.ColorIndex = 4thanks for your answer, works like a charm! I tried the macro-way as well but stopped because that didn't work. How/where did you find out the correct way to use this feature (GetCharacters instead of Characters)? This answer may prevent me from asking further questions of this kind ;-) Cheers, Manuel
I couldn't find where it was documented, although I recalling reading about it years ago and had forgotten about it. In this case I was using PythonWin as the editor, and with the EnsureDispatch call popup tooltips are enabled. Typing "c." listed the "GetCharacters" and "SetCharacters" methods, but I didn't notice it immediately. Too bad the convention wasn't "CharactersGet" and "CharactersSet" or I would have found it quicker in the sorted tooltip list :^)
