Hi Nancy,
That seems like over-compensating for people who aren't paying attention to what they're doing. Try:
Code:
Sub BulkFindReplace()
Dim xlApp As Object, xlWkBk As Object, StrWkBkNm As String, Rslt
Dim iDataRow As Long, xlFList As String, xlRList As String, i As Long
Dim StrRpt As String
Const StrWkSht As String = "Sheet1"
StrWkBkNm = "C:\Users\Username\Documents\Workbook Name.xls"
If Dir(StrWkBkNm) = "" Then
MsgBox "Cannot find the designated workbook: " & StrWkBkNm, vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
On Error Resume Next
'Start Excel
Set xlApp = CreateObject("Excel.Application")
If xlApp Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Can't start Excel.", vbExclamation
Exit Sub
End If
On Error GoTo 0
With xlApp
'Hide our Excel session
.Visible = False
' The file is available, so open it.
Set xlWkBk = .Workbooks.Open(FileName:=StrWkBkNm, ReadOnly:=True, AddToMru:=False)
If xlWkBk Is Nothing Then
MsgBox "Cannot open:" & vbCr & StrWkBkNm, vbExclamation
.Quit
Exit Sub
End If
' Process the workbook.
With xlWkBk
'Ensure the worksheet exists
If SheetExists(xlWkBk, StrWkSht) = True Then
With .Worksheets(StrWkSht)
' Find the last-used row in column A.
iDataRow = .Cells(.Rows.Count, 1).End(-4162).Row ' -4162 = xlUp
' Capture the F/R data.
For i = 1 To iDataRow
' Skip over empty fields to preserve the underlying cell contents.
If Trim(.Range("A" & i)) <> vbNullString Then
xlFList = xlFList & "|" & Trim(.Range("A" & i))
xlRList = xlRList & "|" & Trim(.Range("B" & i))
End If
Next
End With
Else
MsgBox "Cannot find the designated worksheet: " & StrWkSht, vbExclamation
End If
.Close False
End With
.Quit
End With
' Release Excel object memory
Set xlWkBk = Nothing: Set xlApp = Nothing
'Exit if there are no data
If xlFList = "" Then Exit Sub
'Process each word from the List
For i = 1 To UBound(Split(xlFList, "|"))
StrRpt = ""
With ActiveDocument.Range
With .Find
.Text = Split(xlFList, "|")(i)
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchCase = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Execute
End With
'Replace the found text, asking first
Do While .Find.Found
.Duplicate.Select
Rslt = MsgBox("Replace this instance of:" & vbCr & _
Split(xlFList, "|")(i) & vbCr & "with:" & vbCr & _
Split(xlRList, "|")(i), vbYesNoCancel) & StrRpt
If Rslt = vbCancel Then Exit Sub
If Rslt = vbYes Then .Text = Split(xlRList, "|")(i)
StrRpt = vbTab & "(Repeat)"
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.Find.Execute
Loop
End With
Next
End Sub
Function SheetExists(xlWkBk As Object, SheetName As String) As Boolean
Dim i As Long: SheetExists = False
With xlWkBk
For i = 1 To .Sheets.Count
If .Sheets(i).Name = SheetName Then
SheetExists = True: Exit For
End If
Next
End With
End Function
