Microsoft Office Forums - View Single Post - [Solved] Macro to color row of Word table based on found text

Your code fails because it lacks the \ before the { and }. Without that, those characters act as wildcard escape characters ebut what you have between them then doesn't conform to what a wildcard search requires to be between them.

Try:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = "\{[MTWFS][onuedhuriat]{2} Workshop\}"
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindStop
    .Format = False
    .MatchWildcards = True
    .Execute
  End With
  Do While .Find.Found
    If .Information(wdWithInTable) = True Then
      .Rows(1).Shading.BackgroundPatternColorIndex = wdYellow
      '.Delete
    End If
    .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    .Find.Execute
  Loop
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
