how do I loop this macro?
Shauna,
I just tried it on another person's computer and it worked. Basically our situation is a little bit different. We have ten tech writers who all use the same document template. The macro is associated with the list level styles in the template, so that avoids the problem of different list styles on different computers. The macro basically works like this: Find the next instance of the RestartList style. Then when that next instance is located, manually restart the list by going into bullets and numbering and checking the restart box. (At least I think that's what I did instead of clicking the Restart Numbering button -- but I can't remember right now). Then after I'm done restarting the lists, I swap the Restart List style to be a hidden style. I really did read most of the tutorials on your site while figuring this out. They were pretty helpful. But I think in my situation, I'm dealing with documents generated from RoboHelp, not documents whose source material is authored in Word, so I couldn't apply some of the techniques. For example, I tried restarting lists by beginning each first item with a new style. But that didn't seem to have an effect. (I guess the RestartList style is essentially the same thing, though!) Still, my method requires that I click the restart button numerous times. Is there a way to have a macro loop so that it goes until it finds all instances of the RestartList style? I had to do it one by one because when I did it all at the same time, Word broke. Thanks for your help. Tom |
