Hi, try this. First I typed then removed my comments becuase, hopefully, the code is quite simple. Besides, I used selection, which I prefer. If you want to work on the whole doc, press Ctrl+A.
Code:
Sub Paras_Start_Change_1()
'Change the selected paras from Before to After:
'Before:
' <S1>Text
' <S2>Text
' <S3>Text
' <S4>Text
' <S5>Text
'After:
' <S1>Text
' <S1-S2>Text
' <S2-S3>Text
' <S3-S4>Text
' <S4-S5>Text
Dim oSel As range
Dim oPar As Paragraph
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set oSel = selection.range
For i = selection.range.Paragraphs.count To 1 Step -1
Set oPar = oSel.Paragraphs(i)
oPar.range.Select
selection.Collapse 1
selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdParagraph, count:=1
If selection.Start < oSel.Start Then Exit For
selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, count:=1
selection.MoveEndUntil Cset:=">"
selection.Copy
selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdParagraph, count:=1
selection.MoveRight Unit:=wdCharacter, count:=1
selection.PasteAndFormat (wdFormatOriginalFormatting)
selection.TypeText text:="-"
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
