Syntax

expression   Required. A variable that represents a Font object.

Remarks

You can use the Duplicate property to pick up the settings of all the properties of a duplicated Font object. You can assign the object returned by the Duplicate property to another Font object to apply those settings all at once. Before assigning the duplicate object to another object, you can change any of the properties of the duplicate object without affecting the original.

Example

This example sets the variable MyDupFont to the character formatting of the selection, removes bold formatting from MyDupFont, and adds italic formatting to it instead. The example also creates a new document, inserts text into it, and then applies the formatting stored in MyDupFont to the text.

Visual Basic for Applications 
  Set myDupFont = Selection.Font.Duplicate
With myDupFont
    .Bold = False
    .Italic = True
End With
Documents.Add
Selection.InsertAfter "This is some text."
Selection.Font = myDupFont
