Can someone help me with this macro. I want to go to any cell of my
choice and press f2 to edit, then go to the fifth character of that cell,
then select the next 6 characters and change them to a smaller font size
(8), then "enter". I tried to make this macro using the record macro
function, but it did not work how I want it to. It ends up pasting the
contents of the cell which I used to record the macro initially. Can
this kind of macro be done?

Sub Change_Font()

With ActiveCell.Characters(Start:=5, Length:=6).Font
.Name = "Arial"
.FontStyle = "Regular"
.Size = 8
End With

End Sub
