But if you're wanting to stop to add formatting - which is what you said you want to do - you will have to quit the macro every time. Sure, you could include the wildcard Find expression in a macro but: a) it won't do any better than the code Greg provided; and b) won't change the fact you'll have to stop execution to do any formatting. The only way you can automate the formatting is if it can be put into a set of rules that a macro with Word's VBA sentence limitations could apply.
