I have a repetitive task on each title. I think it is better to write a Macro
for it and perform the macro over each title.
I have the Excel experience and I thought by selecting Macro, I will perform
steps inside word and word will automatically record them in Macro in
background. Apparently this excel procedure does not apply to word. Is there
any way to activate this procedure for Word as well? Otherwise it will be
very difficult for me to write the Macro from scratch in Word.Word 2003 SP2

I want to do:
Alt o-p, remove a tik mark (Adjust characters to grid line when number of
lines are fixed in one page)
change the space for after paragraph to 0.5
closes the window.

I have many titles, which I want to apply above changes. So the ideal is
that I put curser in target line and hit the short cut key for my Macro and
it performs those two changes.

This sounds like changes to Japanese script which I cannot help you with,
however, couldn't you just create a paragraph style with the layout you
require and apply it as required?

How do you know that I am working with Japanese scripts? Are that command
specially for Japanese scripts?
Yes you are right. I can define a style and apply. I wanted to learn VBA as
well. For VBA, I read Bill Coan article whish sounds simple and stright
forward but I don't know how to apply in diffenet locations (paragraphs)

The "Adjust characters to grid line" is not something I've seen before,
I would've guessed some Asian language.

If you intend to "walk" through the document manually and apply the
formatting, then a style seems really called for. You can then assign a
keyboard shortcut to it and no macro is needed.

If you can identify all paragraphs that are "headings" somewhat
formally, then you can use Find | Replace to search for them and apply
the style. You may or may not use a macro for that, too.

The fact that you are an engineer from Osaka was a clue - as was adjusting
characters to grid line

You dont really need a macro to apply a style - assign a keyboard shortcut
to the style. Put your cusror in the paragraph and hit the keyboard
shortcut. If you want to apply a style by macro (and correct for any manual
formatting) then you could use the following code:

Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Heading 1")
Selection.Font.Reset

Select the text and run the macro:

Why not create and apply a style?
