Hi everyone,

I've come across this thread and this is exactly a macro I needed in my translation work. I translate in MS Word and prefer to do it paragraph by paragraph so I always have a view of the original text in the most convenient way, and have only the original document open. I type in different color from the one used in the original document which allows me to remove the original text when I finish the translation, and the translated text falls in place neatly.That said, the problem I have is with bigger paragraphs which occasionally, (not too often obviously), come up in the document, taking up the whole page or even more, and I can't have a view of the text I translate and type at the same time.
This code works as a charm in my Word 2013 (I set the limit to 1000 characters instead of 500) and I get paragraphs size suited to my purpose but what I need is to have the place in the text where the code adds a paragraph break marked some way so when I get to that section of the text I'm reminded that the paragraph is created by this code i.e that it doesn't exist in the original format of the document I translate. I need my translation to keep the original format of the document so I'd need to remove the paragraph breaks which the code inserted.
Is it possible to insert into this code some sort of a special symbol that would follow the inserted paragraph breaks? That would enable me to restore the original format in the translated text by removing all instances of paragraph breaks followed by that symbol through Replace function.

Thank you for the help.
