This seems to work:
Code:
Sub FormatAuthorNamesInSmallCaps()
Dim rng As range
Dim authorNames As Variant
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Set rng = ActiveDocument.range
'Liste der Autorennamen
authorNames = Array("Ackermann", "Angermann", _
"Andersen", "Atzeni", "Baecker", "Ortmann", _
"Zamoyski", "Ziegler", "Wurzbach", "Zittel", _
"Zürcher", "Zytphen-Adeler")
For i = 0 To UBound(authorNames)
With rng.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.text = authorNames(i)
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
rng.Font.Italic = True
rng.Font.SmallCaps = True
rng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
Next i
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
