Find {text} and insert cross reference from bookmark

[Slamzor]

Hi.
I have text that contains the word [table]. I want to replace this word with a cross-reference from a bookmark whose name is Table_1. Next replacement: [table] = Table_2 ... etc

[macropod]

Try:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim i As Long
With ActiveDocument.Range
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = "[table]"
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindStop
    .Format = False
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
    .Execute
  End With
  Do While .Find.Found
    i = i + 1
    .Fields.Add Range:=.Duplicate, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="REF Table_" & i, PreserveFormatting:=False
    .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    .Find.Execute
  Loop
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
MsgBox i & " table cross-references created."
End Sub

Note: Your thread title refers to {text} but the post refers to [table]. The macro processes the latter.
