Replace ^u with the word "under"
When Duxbury Braille code is copied into MS Word, the code for the word "under" is "^u".
I want to replace the symbol "^u" with the word under. I have tried the following code, without success. Sub Replace_BrailleCodeSymbol_with_word() 'Replace the Braille symbol "^u" with the word "under" Dim oRng As Range Dim oWord As Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range With oRng.Find ' Do While .Execute(FindText:=Chr(94) & "u") Do While .Execute(FindText:="^u") Set oWord = oRng.Words(1) oRng.Text = "under" oRng.Collapse 0 Loop End With lbl_Exit: Set oRng = Nothing Set oWord = Nothing Exit Sub End Sub Your help would be appreciated.

Try:
Code:
Sub Demo() Application.ScreenUpdating = False With ActiveDocument.Range With .Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Text = "^^u" .Replacement.Text = "under" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With End With Application.ScreenUpdating = True End Sub

When using Find for strings beginning with ^, you need to input the ^ twice. That's because ^ on its own functions as an escape character.
