Hello to all,
this Tuesday. I hope every one is doing great today!
Thank you for all the help provided these previous past few days.
I have been using Graham's fantastic Replace from Table VBA Macro.
The code below - does a fantastic job. It searches and replaces all the text in column 1 - and replaces with text found in column 2.
I was hoping to simply
extend the code.
I don't know if what I am asking for is possible?
As I have been fiddling about with it and have not been able to make heads or tails with the solution, nothing happens when I add new code on to it.
No doubt - I am doing it wrong
Is it possible to
find the exact formatted text in column A of the table, ignoring all other types of formatting
Here is an example
http://tinypic.com/r/258cyf6/9
Code:
Sub ReplaceFromTableWithFormatting()
' Slightly Tweaked from Graham Mayor's TableReplace Function
' And Doug Robbins
' Bulk Find & Replace From Table
'
Dim oChanges As Document, oDoc As Document
Dim oTable As Table
Dim oRng As Range
Dim rFindText As Range, rReplacement As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim sFname As String
'==================DOCUMENT LOCATION
sFname = "C:\Users\Desktop\TableReplace.docx"
Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
Set oChanges = Documents.Open(FileName:=sFname, Visible:=False)
Set oTable = oChanges.Tables(1)
For i = 1 To oTable.Rows.Count
Set oRng = oDoc.Range
Set rFindText = oTable.Cell(i, 1).Range
rFindText.End = rFindText.End - 1
Set rReplacement = oTable.Cell(i, 2).Range
rReplacement.End = rReplacement.End - 1
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
With oRng.Find
' Find only the exact formatted version as displayed in Column 1
.Format = True ' This may not be correct?
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Do While .Execute(FindText:=rFindText, _
MatchWholeWord:=True, _
MatchWildcards:=False, _
Forward:=True, _
Wrap:=wdFindStop) = True
oRng.Select
oRng.FormattedText = rReplacement.FormattedText
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Loop
End With
Next i
oChanges.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
End Sub
This table solution for me is such a great tool - if I could just abuse the kindness of an advanced practitioner to see if if it's possible to do the impossible (which it is to me at this moment) -
that is find the exact formatted text.
I will not lie this is a complex task, what seems
simple enough in theory is not when it comes to coding.
Thank you so very much for taking the time to look over this.
I really really do appreciate all the help from the great individuals here
I would be lost without the kind help
thank you
