Hi,
I wrote a macro that finds and replace ("marks") all bold, itlaic, underlined and highlighted words in a document. It "marks" the wirds by setting a specific characters before and after the word, so Word will find the words again, when i copy and paste in a new document with pasting "Text only".

I am very sad because it is just not working 100% also i spent so many hours to get it working....

1. It opens the dialogue which is asking if it should start the serch from the beginning instead of simply replacing all.
2. When there are words that are bold, italic AND highlighted it is makking the following paragraph completely bold instead of only making the one word bold, itali and highlighted!

Can anybody find the error(s) in my VBA-code?
