Format text automatically

Wow! Now that worked!

Well maybe needs some fine tuning..

1) When there are 'Obs' and 'Justificativa' in the same paragraph, it only does the formatting for the first one. Then I would need to do find/replace again to format the second one. Is there a way to do it in only one step? (see attachaed files)

2) In the attached file PT_BEFORE, the code won´t work for the last 'Obs' (last line of the document). Can you see why?

Thanks!

The simplest way of dealing with this is to simply click 'ReplaceAll' again. Finding either or both paragraphs can't be done in one pass - even with a macro, I'd do it in two passes.

Basically, it's an issue related to the length of the first paragraph. Try:
Find = (Nº [0-9]{1;8}/[!^13]@)[^13]{1;}([OJ][bu]s[.:ifcatv]{1;13})
