thanks for your prompt reply
How about selecting the current paragraph and then running your code using the following code?
Code:
Sub MMD_MakeReferencesInParagToJustNumber()
On Error Resume Next
Dim oFld As Field
Selection.GoTo what:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="\sel"
For Each oFld In Selection.Fields
If oFld.Type = wdFieldRef Then
'add charformat switch:
If InStr(oFld.Code.Text, "\# 0;0") = 0 Then
oFld.Code.Text = Replace(oFld.Code.Text, " \h", " \# 0;0 \h")
End If
'updates the field results to display the new format
oFld.Update
End If
Next oFld
End Sub
