In Word, how can I automatically insert a comma between numbers?
When I am typing a document in Word (let's say a letter) and I type numbers
with a comma such as 1,158, I use the number pad but have to go over to the letter pad for the comma. There should be a comma in the number pad. Is there any way to format with auto correct with the numbers being unknown, to always insert a comma after every number that is followed by three numbers (1,111,111 or 1,158)? Or is there some other way that I don't know about, such as automatically invoking a macro? |

ALT + 044 should give you a comma.

I suspect there is a Find/Replace that would be more direct but this macro
should do what you are asking. _ __ ______ __________________________ Sub AddCommasToNumbers() Dim rngOriginal As Range Dim strTemp As String Application.ScreenUpdating = False Set rngOriginal = Selection.Range ActiveDocument.Range(0, 0).Select With Selection.Find .ClearFormatting .Text = "[0-9]{4,}" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchWildcards = True Do While .Execute strTemp = Selection.Text Selection.Text = Format$(strTemp, "#,##0") Selection.Collapse wdCollapseEnd Loop End With rngOriginal.Select Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub ______________________________________________ Steve Yandl "sharris" wrote in message ...

Steve,
Expanded your suggestion a bit as I wouldn't expect you would want to format numbers like phone numbers 1-800-867-5309, SSN's 123-45-6789, or Serial Numbers 123SEWR3432432143SWQ21, etc. Sub CommaFormatNumbers() Dim oRng As Word.Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range With oRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Text = "([0-9]{4,})" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .MatchWildcards = True While .Execute Select Case Asc(oRng.Characters.Last.Next) Case 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 32 On Error GoTo Handler Select Case Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) Case 7, 9, 10, 11, 13, 32 Proceed: oRng = Format$(oRng, "#,##0") oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd Case Else oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd End Select Case Else 'Do Nothing End Select Wend End With Exit Sub Handler: Resume Proceed End Sub -- Greg Maxey/Word MVP See: http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm For some helpful tips using Word.

Greg,
You're assuming the original poster isn't an eccentric who would like commas in those text/number strings.vbg. Thanks for the improved code. To be honest, I only do "10 key" entries in Excel where I can easily modify number format; in Word, I've never found it a problem to type a comma in the few cases where I enter large numbers. I was mostly interested in the question to see if there was a slick 'Find/Replace' that could do the deed without a subroutine. Steve "Greg Maxey" wrote in message ...

Answer: In Word, how can I automatically insert a comma between numbers?
Yes, there is a way to automatically insert a comma between numbers in Word. You can use the AutoCorrect feature in Word to achieve this. Here are the steps:
That's it! Now, every time you type a number with more than three digits, Word will automatically insert a comma between the thousands and hundreds places. This can save you time and make your documents look more professional.
