Navigate and add a character at specific locations in a document
Hi everyone, I need some non VBA help (if possible). If VBA is the only
solution could a VBA wizard suggest a bit of code? Here is my problem: In a LARGE document I have to find all instances of the word Celsius and insert a degree symbol between the word and the number (i.e. 24 ° Celsius). ALT + 0176. Find and replace or find does not do the trick (at least I don't know how). Is this task feasible? Any help is appreciated. Gilles Desjardins |

In what respect is F&R not working for you? You can't search for "Celsius"
and replace with "° Celsius"? If the issue is getting the degree symbol into the "Replace with" box, you can use Paste (Ctrl+V), Alt+0176, or Ctrl+Shift+@, Spacebar. Or you can copy "° Celsius" to the Clipboard and use ^c. -- Suzanne S.
