Hello everyone

I'm a translator, and my translation software can exclude text from the translation process if the text font is marked as "hidden".

I have now received two MS Word files from a client, with these requirements: in the one file, I have to translate only the text in non-shaded table cells; in the other file, I have to translate only the text in table cells that are not shaded in green.



So, do you know of a macro or macros that can do that? I.e., (1) find all table cells that have shaded backgrounds, and mark the text in them as "hidden" or as some other font specification, and (2) find all table cells that have green shaded background, and mark the text in them as "hidden" or a different font.

I've attached a sample document so that you can see what I mean by "shaded background".

Alternatively, can you point me in some direction about how to specify these attributes in an edited recorded macro?

Thanks
Samuel
