Looping Macro for Selection String Between Quotation Marks
Word 2003
I have attempted to put together the below looping macro which essentially searches for a word or words surrounded by quotation marks in Document (2), selects everything between and including the opening and closing quotation marks by using the "Extend" feature (F8); copies the selected string and pastes it at the cursor position in Document (1); inserts a paragraph return; and then switches back to Document (2), advances past the highlighted selection and repeats the same functions until reaching the end of the document. The macro seems to work just fine until such time as I insert the "Do While" and the "Loop" commands in an attempt to get the macro to repeat itself until reaching the end of the document. Obviously, I am missing at the very least one step - and would very much appreciate any assistance or insight into what I am doing incorrectly. If the below macro is completely off the mark, I would appreciate being furnished with the coding for a macro that actually would work and how me the errors of my ways.
