Need help with a macro (not sure if correct site... thx)
Hi! I'm using MS Word 2003 and am trying to create a macro to edit a very long file I have. The macro would make it so easy to fix, but I can't figure out how to create it correctly. I've been using the macro recorder so it records my moves. I had copied a word using ctrl+shift+left arrow and then tried to find the word again using the "find" function and then pasting what I had copied into the find function.
When I open the macro, it is looking at the find function with the "text" of my previously copied information, i.e., "ARNP" rather than the new copied/pasted info from my next selection. (Does this make sense?) I'll paste the macro below for those who may be able to help. (All I want is to be able to find the copied information rather than always looking for "ARNP".)
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdLine
Selection.EndKey Unit:=wdLine
Selection.MoveLeft Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Copy
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "ARNP"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindAsk
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
End Sub
Thanks!
