Search first section for specific string...
Word 2010
Document is made up of multiple sections. I need to verify that a string is in the first section. How do I search for a text value in the first section of the document? |

You could use code like:
Code:
Sub Demo() With ActiveDocument.Sections.First.Range.Find .Text = "My Text" .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Format = False .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .MatchWildcards = True .Execute If .Found Then MsgBox .Text & vbCr & "found in Section 1.", vbInformation Else MsgBox .Text & vbCr & "NOT found in Section 1", vbCritical End If End With End Sub

Just for future reference...
How would the procedure change if I was looking in section 2?

Change '.First' to (2).
