Trouble highlighting all instances of superscript text
Hi everyone. My apologies for the newbie question. I would like to highlight all instances of superscript text in a Word document. I have got as far as the following code but it doesn't seem to be working. Does anyone have any tips on what I am missing here? Many thanks! Code:
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.Highlight = True Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdYellow Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow With Selection.Find .Font.Superscript = True .Replacement.Text = "^&" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll |

One wonders why you'd record a macro for such a simple thing. That said, try:
Code:
Sub Demo() Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdYellow With ActiveDocument.Range.Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.Highlight = True .Font.Superscript = True .Replacement.Text = "^&" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = True .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End With End Sub

Hi macropod,
Many thanks. That works and is a lot simpler than other snippets of code I have found online. I need to highlight a number of particular characters that have different styling/fonts, and I think I can now use your code to chain together a search for these. So thanks again; that's very helpful. |
