Thank you. I just had to change a tiny assembly language program and it was a lot easier to decipher than these objects!

If I had word files and need to search for bold, etc, why does the search I used below not find the search term?

Code:

With Selection.Find
      .ClearFormatting
      .Text = "first"
      .Forward = True
      .Wrap = wdFindContinue
      .Format = False
      .MatchCase = False
      .MatchWholeWord = False
      .MatchWildcards = False
      .MatchSoundsLike = False
      .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    If Selection.Find.Execute Then
       Print #DestFileNum, wdDoc.Name
              
    End If
