Hi, Greg! I've learned (and still learning) a lot from your codes, as well as from macropod's, gmayor's, guessed's and other experts' (excuse me if I don't mention all those who are my indirect teachers). I'm not a programmer (I'm a psychologist) and vba is a little hobby of mine because I have to work with texts every day. As for 'selection', I may have used a wrong term. To be more precise, I prefer a selected range to an active document because the former allows working on any part of the document, including the whole document. And I'm fully aware that my solutions are not elegant and the most effective but they may be viewed as a starting point for better codes. Anyway, I'm open to new knowledge and will be greateful for it.
