Why does this VBA code not work?:
Sub AllToGeorgia12()
Selection.Font.Size = 12
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Font.Name = "Georgia"
End Sub
This code is meant to turn all the text into Georgia font of size 12
Edit 1:
(This edit is my answer to supporters Froeschli and Foole):
I am sorry: I didn’t notice right away that the code with the first two lines swapped (just as you have suggested) works fine on its own. However, it doesn’t change the font and size when I attach it to another piece of code:

The code above is changing Latin letters to Cyrillic. The font-and-size-changing code is attached at the very end of it, right before the last End Sub line
Edit 2:
(This edit is my answer to Froeschli)
Here is what I have before running the code:
And here is what I get as a result:
As you can probably see here, only the third letter of text, letter “o”, has been converted into font “Georgian”.
You should change the order of the commands.
EDIT:
If I use the above code along with this sentence:
then everything gets converted to Cyrillic characters, font type “Georgia” font size 12.
EDIT2:
An addition to the code has been mentioned on this question reguarding the same problem. The office version in use by the questioner is a chinese version. So the default language is chinese. This can be changed through adding the following line:
Selection.WholeStory Selection.LanguageID = wdRussian Selection.Font.Size = 12 Selection.Font.Name = "Georgia"
