macro problems
I have a long document in Word 2003. I need to do extensive formating in
sections of the file. I selected the text and then created a macro. I did my formating moves which involved Find and Replace and said, No, I did not want to do the rest of the document. I finished and saved the macro. Now, I select some other text and then run the macro. But it keeps doing the entire text, not just the selected text. What am I doing wrong? How do I get the macro to stay with the selected text only???? |

I tried replacing all of the wdFindContinue with wdFindStop but the problem

The problem is with the first line of your macro - selection.whole story.
Remove that line. There are several bits of your macro that are unnecessary and some bits that don't do anything. You could also reduce the number of steps by using wildcards http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm - and get rid of all of it by using the stripmail utility linked from the downloads page of my web site - but to tidy up your code to what I think you intended: Sub CleanPartial() ' Macro recorded 1/25/2005 by Stephen Larivee ' Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Font.Name = "Times New Roman" .Font.Size = 12 .Text = "" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute replace:=wdReplaceAll With Selection.Find .Text = "~" .Replacement.Text = "" End With Selection.Find.Execute replace:=wdReplaceAll With Selection.Find .Text = "^l" .Replacement.Text = "^p" End With Selection.Find.Execute replace:=wdReplaceAll With Selection.Find .Text = " ^p" .Replacement.Text = "^p" End With Selection.Find.Execute replace:=wdReplaceAll With Selection.Find .Text = "^p " .Replacement.Text = "^p" End With Selection.Find.Execute replace:=wdReplaceAll '********************************************** 'what is this section supposed to be doing?

Thanks for stepping in, Graham. You're at least 5 hours ahead of me (are you
back in the UK now, or still in Cyprus?). I think the section you commented with 'what is this section supposed to be doing? will change all straight single and double quotes to curly (aka "smart") quotes, assuming that option is set. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Graham Mayor wrote: The problem is with the first line of your macro - selection.whole story.

I'm currently in the UK - I am off to Ireland next week (so won't be around
for a few days) then back to Cyprus (permanently) on May 17th. As for the curly quotes I think I would have used autoformat to effect that, but I have left the original code intact. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Jay Freedman wrote: Thanks for stepping in, Graham.
