Selecting text between two key phrases

Hi

Ok thanks.

I gave it a go using search replace , and unfortunately it doesn't find the string. I'm not sure why.

This is what I'm running :

Code:

    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
        .Text = "MORE INFO ABOUT THE ITEM*ITEM NUM : "
        .Replacement.Text = ""
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindContinue
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchWildcards = True
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

This is a section of the text I'm trying to affect ;

Item Format UP € - EUR Qty Availability
Item num : 112027bx41
Bowie - Jagger - Dancing In The Street - 12 inch 45 rpm - EX/EX
more info about the item [ Inventory : 0 ] 12 inch 45 rpm 5.95 1 Available

Item num : 25093bx180
Jagger Mick - Let's Work - 7inch (SP) x 2 - EX/EX
more info about the item [ Inventory : 0 ] 7inch (SP) x 2 2.95 1 Available

Item num : 116699bx102
Jagger Mick - Just Another Night - 7inch (SP) x 2 - NA/EX
more info about the item [ Inventory : 0 ]

I can't see why this wouldn't find the sections in the Find/Replace dialogue...
