Hi Lily,

Unfortunately, the end-of-cell and end-of-row markers are invisible to "Edit
Find".

You need a work-around, like searching for "Table" and then checking the
previous character:
If AscW(Selection.Characters.First.Previous) = Chr(13) Then '...

Or loop the paragraphs collection in the first place (and check the left 5
letters) instead of using Find.

Or read the document in a variant (doctext = ActiveDocument.Content.Text), use
Split(doctext, Chr(13)), and then look at the 5 left letters of each item in the
array (If Left(doctext(i),5) = "Text" Then).
The array index i will still be the same as the paragraph index in the document,
so you can modify the corresponding paragraph.

What will be fastest depends on your documents.

Greetings,
Klaus
