Below example may help you RichTextBox x:Name = "rtb" x:FieldModifier = "private" > FlowDocument > Paragraph > Run > This is some text. Run > Paragraph > FlowDocument > RichTextBox > TextPointer text = rtb.Document.ContentStart; while (text.GetPointerContext(LogicalDirection.Forward) != TextPointerContext.Text) { text = text.GetNextContextPosition(LogicalDirection.Forward); } TextPointer startPos = text.GetPositionAtOffset(5); TextPointer endPos = text.GetPositionAtOffset(7); var textRange = new TextRange(startPos, endPos); textRange.ApplyPropertyValue(TextElement.FontWeightProperty, FontWeights.Bold);
