Start of Document Code Problem
I am writing code to highlight "ance" in a Word document. In Braille, there is a contraction for "ance" (and other combinations of letters). My macro seems to work provinding the document does not start with "ance". It would be appreciated if someone could tell me how to include the "if the document does not start with "ance" condition. I am attaching the code. Code:
Sub HighlightAnceIfNotStartOfWord() Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range ' Search document for specified text and highlight text. With oRng.Find .Text = "ance" ' ' .Highlight - colour - yellow if previous character if alphabetic character - otherwise turquoise. .Wrap = wdFindStop 'stops at the end of the document While .Execute ' MsgBox (oRng.Characters.First.Previous) If (Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) >= 65 And Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) <= 90) _ Or (Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) >= 97 And Asc(oRng.Characters.First.Previous) <= 122) _ Then oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow Else: oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdTurquoise End If Wend End With End Sub Last edited by macropod; 02-12-2013 at 03:39 AM. Reason: Added code tags & formatting |

Try the following:
Code:
Sub HighlightAnceIfNotStartOfWord() ' Search document for specified text and highlight text. With ActiveDocument.Range With .Find .Text = "ance" ' .Highlight - colour - yellow if previous character if alphabetic character - otherwise turquoise. .Wrap = wdFindStop 'stops at the end of the document .Execute End With Do While .Find.Found If .Characters.First.Previous Like "[A-Za-z]" Then .HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow Else .HighlightColorIndex = wdTurquoise End If .Collapse wdCollapseEnd .Find.Execute Loop End With End Sub
