out bold every other time! How do I resolve this..Thank you

If you want to give us a fighting chance of helping you resolve it, you
show us the code.

My *guess* is that you have a line like this ..

Selection.Font.Bold = Not Selection.Font.Bold

when you really want one like this ...

Selection.Font.Bold = True

It did work but is there a way to make this a default setting so I do
not have to repeat this step every day? Thanks for the help!

We really need a bit more information. What exactly are you doing every day?

Can you post your code, and a bit more detail - I'm sure it can be sorted.

On my laptop (don't have it home), in Microsoft Word, I create a Macro,
in bold for the date as I need to dictate patient progress notes and
using the macro makes it easier. So each day I record a new Macro, in
bold, for the date. The problem is, unless I change (under macro edit)
Selection Font.Bold=True (and I need to do that manually), every other
time I press the macro keys it comes out plain type and not bold! I
hope this makes sense!

So, you're requirement is a macro that inserts the current day's date and
formats it bold? Does this work for you?

Sub InsertTheDate()
Dim rng as Word.Range

Set rng = Selection.Range
rng.Text = Format(Date, "mmmm d, yyyy")
rng.Bold = True
End Sub
