You might be getting bitten by Word's AutoFormat, annoying thing that it is.

I didn't think of paragraph formatting and it would need tending to. You
could insert something like

With .ParagraphFormat
.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphLeft ' and more
End With

into the initial With ActiveDocument but overall I think Paul's 'create a
style' approach might be more effective. Bold and underline should have
worked. I really did test before I sent, with Script Editor 1.9 and Word X.
Did anything happen at all?
