I need to use VBA in word to firstly match (find) a word in a given document, from a external text file, then move to the right 5 words from the matched word to the end of that word and then at that point insert a symbol and then resume with the next word in the text file, running this all from a macro. The purpose of this is to use a text file to find key words in a document, then in the document move a few words further along and enter a tick before reading the next key word and repeating until the EOF. I can read the file, find the word but cannot then move the cursor to the right and add the symbol only once. It moves the required amount of words but then I seem to get multiple ticks rather than just one for each key word. I just want one tick for each key word 5 words away, reading from a text file.
