In a WORD macro I need a line to enact the equivalent of the ESC key.
I’m using the “Find and Replace” function in WORD. Sometimes there appears the usual dialogue box asking if I want it to search the rest of the text; I don’t, so I have to click on “NO” in the box or hit the ESC key.
I need a macro line that will do the equivalent to hitting ESC automatically, so that the dialogue box doesn’t appear and halt the search every so often?
Thanks for any help.

Hi ACA,

This sounds more like a need to change '.Wrap = wdFindAsk' to '.Wrap = wdFindStop'.

Thanks, Paul. That's the solution, really. Much obliged.

Still, I'd like to know if it's possible in Word VBA, to insert the equivalent to keystrokes. I understand there's such thing as wdKeyEsc (or code 27) for the ESCAPE key, etc. But I d'ont know how to use that.
And in Excel you can write Application.Inkeys {ESC}, I think, to that end. But in Word macros?

But for my current need for Find and Replace, you saved the day. Thanks again.

To insert keystrokes, you can use SendKeys, but you need to be careful how & when you use it.

Thanks again, Paul.
Yes, I was thinking of SendKeys; and I'll mind your warning
