Word macro - find formatted text
We commonly use one of the following placeholders to indicate something to check before completing a document. I would like to build a macro that is initiated when printing or saving that searches for:
? and red text and highlighted text. I want it to start searching at the beginning of the document and let the document author modify the text or click Next - as he could if the Find routine was run from the drop-down menu. Can anyone suggest the right code? |

Word macro - find formatted text
I'm not sure a macro would be the best solution...
Note that you could make use of Track Changes or comments; these would be visible to editors and you can have Word alert you on saving and printing if there is markup in the document. However, if you really do want a macro solution, try asking in the programming forum of the Microsoft community (http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/o...tomize?tab=all) or the Word Developers forum at MSDN (http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/For...rddev/threads). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP On 2012-12-09 19:36, browncat wrote: We commonly use one of the following placeholders to indicate something to check before completing a document.
