Dear all,
I am completely new to VBA, but I use Word to edit large technical documents daily using Track Changes. The aim is partly to produce a consistent style among the documents. As a result, I end up making similar changes to multiple documents daily. To improve my productivity, I would like to be able to define rules, for example "for the whole word CO2, subscript the 2" and have a macro apply those changes to the documents I'm working on. In my workflow, I would run this macro first, before making any other changes. I would need the changes to be tracked as if I had made them manually. I would need to be able to create, save, and reload multiple rule sets, each containing a large number of rules, and some of the rules within each set would be quite complex. An example of a more complex rule is "when there are two words in italics, and the first of those words is capitalized (Example here), for subsequent instances of the same two words (but not for the first instance in the document), shorten the first word to the initial letter (E. here)". I'm looking for advice. My questions are: 1. Is there an existing program, add-in, or macro that can perform these types of operations? 2. If not, would it be very difficult to design such a macro? Apologies if this is a question that has been asked before. I was unable to find anything similar on Google or using the forum search function. Any help is much appreciated. Best wishes, Chris |
