Default What is the syntax error with .Text "^p" ?

The Macro was recorded automatically by word but doesn't work because of a "syntax error" what can it be?

Sub Makro2()
'
' Makro2 Makro
'
'
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text Dialog "^p"
.Replacement.Text Dialog " "
.Forward Dialog True


.Wrap Dialog wdFindContinue
.Format Dialog False
.MatchCase Dialog False
.MatchWholeWord Dialog False
.MatchWildcards Dialog False
.MatchSoundsLike Dialog False
.MatchAllWordForms Dialog False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub

Replace "Dialog" with "=" throughout is a start

Thanks - this works!
Do you happen to know, why Word automatically puts "Dialog" in there in the first place? Because otherwise it would empower people too much so they write too many Macros?

It doesn't put Dialog there when we record this on an English language version of Word for Windows.

Your 'Makro' name implies to me that you are using a non-English version and perhaps there is a translation bug happening there. Your profile also indicates you are on a Mac and perhaps that is also a factor with the mis-translation. I have been disappointed by Mac versions of Word - it really doesn't work as well as the Windows version.

One other factor is even at its best, the macro recorder is a poor reflection of the actual activity. Some things do not get recorded at all, others get mis-interpreted.
