You'll need to provide a little more information.

Based on what you posted my answer would have to be: do one, then do the
other - and the speed is down to how fast you type.

Dear Tony,
If it is more than 10 activities will you still doing the fast typing.
What is your question for further information. I still groping about
the phrase require to put my question. Is my question related to writing
MACRO??.
Let me repeat my question.
I wish to do some sequence of activities without doing every single
activity in some sequence.
with thanks

It might help if you explained *exactly* what you are trying to do. Your
original question was about two replacements. Now you are talking about 10!
It is fairly simple to replace things using Word and you can replace no end
of sequences using vba to apply the replacements, but we need to know more
about what you are doing in order to make an appropriate suggestion.

I'm sorry. I realise English may not be your first language, but I just
don't have a clue what you mean.

I wish to operate two search/replace actions. Is there any way to do
it quickly.


Do you want to do them one after the other? Or mixed up in some way? If they
are mixed up what else are they mixed up with? Do you always want to search
for the same texts and replace with the same texts? Do you etc., etc.

Yes, you probably want a macro but unless you say what it is to do in more
detail, I cannot help you any more. If you want to know how to code a macro
to search and replace, then you can record yourself doing it manually and
then look at, and change, the generated code.

Dear Tony,
Thanks for taking interest in solving my problem. I did not understand
your comment initially.
I did some copying from a PDF material. When I paste, each line is
broken into paragraphs. So, I needed to regroup broken lines into
paragraph.
Stage I (removing the paragraph break) : Usually I would mark the
paragraph beginning with "*" (but this could be anything). Then I shall
replace all the paragraph breaks with a space.
Stage II (inserting a paragraph break) : I shall replace all the "*"
with paragraph break.
I would be doing these two search / replace activity sequentially to
finish my task. My concern, however, if the number of ,similar search /
replace activity, is more than 2, what would be your suggestion. Another
related concern is that if I need to do those two search replace
activity in more than two sessions, your suggestion certainly can help
me save time.
with thanks,
pushparaj

There's already a macro for this. See

See if this helps - if so, it saves the trouble of writing your own code:
