Finding lines containing one word
Hi all,
Does anyone know if there's a way to use Find and Replace to find all the lines in a document that only have one word on them? Thanks! Jezzica85 |

Finding lines containing one word
Assuming 'line' means paragraph and 'only one word' means that the paragraph
contains no spaces: with 'Use wildcards' checked -- Find: ^013[! ]@^013 Replace: ^pxxx^p where xxx is your replacement text. Note that this won't do the very first paragraph of the document.

Finding lines containing one word
Thank you Jezebel, but it looks like I wasn't clear enough with my question.
What I'm looking for is: if I had a sentence like this "or a sentence like this that just overflowed naturally with dialogue like this--" Would there be a way to just scan a document for the "this's," basically just a single word in a line, but not necessarily the start of a paragraph? Thanks!

Finding lines containing one word
That's a much harder task. I can think of several ways to do it, but only
with a fair amount of tricky macro programming. What are you actually trying to achieve? "jezzica85" wrote in message ... Thank you Jezebel, but it looks like I wasn't clear enough with my question.

Finding lines containing one word
All I'm trying to do is go through a document just to see how many times that
happens, it's more of a weird trivia-ish thing, not really for any real purpose except so I know in case I want to print the document later. "Jezebel" wrote: That's a much harder task.

Finding lines containing one word
Here's some code that you might be able to adapt --
Dim pPar As Word.Paragraph Dim pRange As Word.Range For Each pPar In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs Set pRange = ActiveDocument.Range(pPar.Range.End - 1, pPar.Range.End) If pRange.Information(wdHorizontalPositionRelativeToP age) x Then ... End If Next This checks the horizontal position of the end-of-paragraph, and does something if the last line of the paragraph is less than some value. Not quite what you're asking, but maybe sufficient. You'll need to insert a value for x (in points) that's your threshhold of interest (ie, do something if the last line is shorter than this value). And you'll need to insert whatever you actually want to have happen, eg select the line and stop, or format the last word in some way that you can then use with Find. "jezzica85" wrote in message ...
