VB might differ in syntax details, but I think you are building the string the wrong way:

"Bold" & vbCr & "Italic"

In JavaScript, "Bold Italic" works. Note that your current font must have this style in its repertoire, or else you get the pink background.

In your code there's a space after TextFrameTool, maybe that's the problem.
