Hello,
I am trying to loop through all the headers in a document searching for a text string. If that string is found I would like to select it and the connected text to the left and pass the text value to a string variable so I can split and name the documents by these string values. I know this is a few parts but if you can help with any of the modules it would be much appreciated. 1. Loop through all headers 2 Search for text string, select entire word, save value to string 3. Export Page and name by string variable Any help is much appreciated. I found several sources for search and replace but the structure, ranges and object naming seems more complicated than necessary. I can provide some code that has yielded some results but seems off track. -Jeff Code:
Public Sub FindReplaceAnywhere()
Dim rngStory As Word.Range
Dim pFindTxt As String
Dim pReplaceTxt As String
Dim lngJunk As Long
Dim oShp As Shape
pFindTxt = "-IN"
'pReplaceTxt = "-IN**" 'From Sorce Code
'Fix the skipped blank Header/Footer problem
lngJunk = ActiveDocument.Sections(1).Headers(1).Range.StoryType
'Iterate through all story types in the current document
For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
'Iterate through all linked stories
Do
SearchAndReplaceInStory rngStory, pFindTxt, pReplaceTxt
On Error Resume Next
Select Case rngStory.StoryType
Case 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11
If rngStory.ShapeRange.Count > 0 Then
For Each oShp In rngStory.ShapeRange
If oShp.TextFrame.HasText Then
SearchAndReplaceInStory oShp.TextFrame.TextRange, pFindTxt, pReplaceTxt
'FindIt oShp.TextFrame.TextRange, pFindTxt, pReplaceTxt
End If
Next
End If
Case Else
'Do Nothing
End Select
On Error GoTo 0
'Get next linked story (if any)
Set rngStory = rngStory.NextStoryRange
Loop Until rngStory Is Nothing
Next
End Sub
Public Sub SearchAndReplaceInStory(ByVal rngStory As Word.Range, ByVal strSearch As String, ByVal strReplace As String)
Dim Invoice As String
Dim rngInvoice As Range
Dim strStart As Long
Dim strEnd As Variant
'Best I could do, Prints the range of the area I want. Seems like I should be using .moveleft ?
With rngStory
If .Find.Execute(strSearch) Then Debug.Print .Start - 7 & " " & .End
End With
End Sub
I found this which seems like it should be used to select the range but I'm struggling to name the header range and actually select the text I want Code:
With Selection Set MyRange = .GoTo(wdGoToField, wdGoToPrevious) .MoveRight Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1, Extend:=wdExtend If Selection.Fields.Count = 1 Then Selection.Fields(1).Update End With |

There are potentially many headers in a document. You need to identify which section and which header in that section. The following example examines the primary header in the section where the cursor is when you run the macro. If necessary you can loop through all sections and the headers in those sections.
There is no need to 'select' the found word/string in order to read it and the word that comes before. Another issue not mentioned by Paul is what Word considers is a 'word', so when looking to add a word to a string, it helps to know what that 'word' might be. However the following should be easy enough to adapt. The string variable to which the search string and previous 'word' are added is sText Code:
Sub FindInHeader()
Dim oRng As Range
Dim sText As String
Dim sWord As String
Dim numWords As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim j As Integer
numWords = 1
'In the following line set the section and the particular header
Set oRng = Selection.Sections(1).Headers(wdHeaderFooterPrimary).Range
sWord = InputBox("Enter the text to find")
i = Len(sWord)
For j = 1 To i
If (Mid(sWord, j, 1)) = " " Then
numWords = numWords + 1
End If
Next j
With oRng.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:=sWord, MatchWholeWord:=True)
oRng.MoveStart wdWord, -1
Exit Do
Loop
End With
If Not oRng.Words.Count = numWords + 1 Then
sText = ""
Else
sText = oRng.Text
End If
If sText = "" Then
MsgBox "Not found"
Else
MsgBox sText
End If
lbl_Exit:
Set oRng = Nothing
Exit Sub
End Sub

Wow thank you guys. I had actually posted a similar thread with no reply with some code that was close. and then you guys just provided the missing link
https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...e-varable.html Code:
rngStory.MoveStart wdWord, -1 How do I trace this post back to that one? I should be able to get those modules on my own, but perhaps I'll post another thread if I get hung up. Thanks again guys!! |

Hello all,
I am splitting a large document into individual documents by for each page. In the code below I am losing formatting. Is there a way to copy the formatting exactly? Do I need to copy the entire doc and delete all pages but the one I want? Do I need to use a template? Any help is appreciated. Code:
Sub SplitDoc()
Dim docMultiple As Document
Dim docSingle As Document
Dim rngPage As Range
Dim iCurrentPage As Integer
Dim iPageCount As Integer
Dim strNewFileName As String
Dim strInvoice As String
Application.ScreenUpdating = False 'Makes the code run faster and reduces screen _
flicker a bit.
Set docMultiple = ActiveDocument 'Work on the active document _
(the one currently containing the Selection)
Set rngPage = docMultiple.Range 'instantiate the range object
iCurrentPage = 1
'get the document's page count
iPageCount = docMultiple.Content.ComputeStatistics(wdStatisticPages)
Do Until iCurrentPage > iPageCount
If iCurrentPage = iPageCount Then
rngPage.End = ActiveDocument.Range.End 'last page (there won't be a next page)
Else
'Find the beginning of the next page
'Must use the Selection object. The Range.Goto method will not work on a page
Selection.GoTo wdGoToPage, wdGoToAbsolute, iCurrentPage + 1
'Set the end of the range to the point between the pages
rngPage.End = Selection.Start
End If
rngPage.Copy 'copy the page into the Windows clipboard
Set docSingle = Documents.Add 'create a new document
docSingle.Range.PasteAndFormat Type:=wdFormatOriginalFormatting
'docSingle.Range.Paste 'paste the clipboard contents to the new document
'remove any manual page break to prevent a second blank
docSingle.Range.Find.Execute FindText:="^m", ReplaceWith:=""
'build a new sequentially-numbered file name based on the original multi-paged file name and path
'strNewFileName = Replace(docMultiple.FullName, ".doc", "_" & Right$("000" & iCurrentPage, 4) & ".doc")
'strNewFileName = "Whatever" & ".doc" ' Usually a sting from differan Sub
strNewFileName = "whatever" & ".PDF"
docSingle.SaveAs strNewFileName, Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatPDF 'save the new single-paged document
iCurrentPage = iCurrentPage + 1 'move to the next page
docSingle.Close SaveChanges:=False 'close the new document
rngPage.Collapse wdCollapseEnd 'go to the next page
Loop 'go to the top of the do loop
Application.ScreenUpdating = True 'restore the screen updating
'Destroy the objects.
Set docMultiple = Nothing
Set docSingle = Nothing
Set rngPage = Nothing
End Sub

Rather than re-inventing the wheel, I suggest you take a look at the Split Merged Output to Separate Documents topic in the Mailmerge Tips and Tricks thread at:
https://www.msofficeforums.com/mail-...ps-tricks.html PS: I've merged your three threads, as they're all related.
