Start find macro beginning with section 2

jeffreybrown · #1 09-21-2018, 06:42 AM

I have a macro that is looking for specific words within a document and runs a find between those two specific words. All that works fine.

The part I would like to know now is, how can I start the find after Section 1 of the document?

The reason for starting after Section 1, because those keywords I'm trying to find are in the table of contents. There are only a total of two sections within the document.

So where is your macro?

Code:

Sub ScratchMacro()

Dim oRng As Word.Range
  Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Sections(2).Range
  With oRng.Find
    .Text = "Test"
    While .Execute
      oRng.Select
    Wend
  End With
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub

Thank you Greg for your reply. I have no access to this site from work, so I posted this question thru my phone. Somewhat difficult to post the macro. I can post the macro when I get home, but in the meantime, I will see if I can get what you have posted to work for my needs. Thanks again.
