Word macro to insert text at the beginning of paragraph but skip tables

It's not exactly clear what you're trying to do, since nothing about your code has anything to do with justification vis-à-vis "all the dollar amounts become left justified". Try:

Code:

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = "[!^13]@^13"
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindStop
    .Format = False
    .MatchWildcards = True
    .Execute
  End With
  Do While .Find.Found
    If .Information(wdWithInTable) = False Then
      Select Case .Characters.First
        Case Chr(32), vbCr
        Case Else: .InsertBefore "(U) "
      End Select
    Else
      .End = .Tables(1).Range.End
    End If
    .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    .Find.Execute
  Loop
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub

I apologize for not being clear. I added more description, but that seems to have made it more confusing. We have a separate macro that formats the tables, so I don't want this to format the tables.

The macro I posted adds a "(U) " to everything styled "normal" which includes every cell in every table.

I was hoping for code that would skip anything in a table.

I tried the macro you posted, and was patient for a while, but it seemed to just be locked up. So I ended the task and when I opened up the test file again, it had hundreds of "(U) "s in the table of contents. But nothing in the text.

I can't send the Word file, but I attached one with a screen shot.
