How to select text in between two "finds"
Hi. I'm having a hard time figuring out how to do this, and hope
someone here can explain it to me. Let's say I have a paragraph with the word "franks" somewhere near the top and the word "beans" somewhere below it. How can I get the program (either Word XP or Word 2003) to find and select all text in between those two points? Thanks to anyone who can dispel the darkness. |

How to select text in between two "finds"
Hi, Dennis! I was amazed to find out what it did....
See that little EXT at the bottom of Word's window? You must be viewing your status bar to see it. 1. Do your find for franks and close the dialog 2. Double-click EXT 3. Do your find for beans Voila! ************ Hope it helps! Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "Dennis Q. Wilson" wrote in message ups.com... Hi.

How to select text in between two "finds"
Dennis,
Your question is answered. However, if you wanted to selected the text between those two points excluding the terms themselves then I think only a macro would do. Sometime like: Sub FRTest() Dim firstTerm As String Dim secondTerm As String Dim myRange As Range Dim selRange As Range Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range firstTerm = InputBox("Enter first term to find:") secondTerm = InputBox("Enter second term to find:") With myRange.find .Text = firstTerm .MatchWholeWord = True .Execute myRange.Collapse direction:=wdCollapseEnd Set selRange = ActiveDocument.Range selRange.Start = myRange.End .Text = secondTerm .MatchWholeWord = True .Execute myRange.Collapse direction:=wdCollapseStart selRange.End = myRange.Start selRange.Select End With End Sub |
