Hi Ben
You can't use selection object unless you select portion of the text.
Try to use Formatfont method instead.
Formatfont accepts a lot of parameters.VB has named parameters. VFP does not have this. So order of parameters is very important.
Parameters to Formatfont looks such :

FormatFont [.Points = number] [, .Underline = number] [, .Color = number] [, .Strikethrough = number] [, .Superscript = number] [, .Subscript = number] [, .Shadow = number] [, .Hidden = number] [, .SmallCaps = number] [, .AllCaps = number] [, .Outline = number] [, .Spacing = number] [, .Position = number or text] [, .Kerning = number] [, .KerningMin = number or text] [, .Default] [, .Tab = number] [, .Font = text] [, .Bold = number] [, .Italic = number]

Hope this help. ALEX
