           Case Is = "can": oRngEval.Text = "cannot"
           Case Is = "Can": oRngEval.Text = "Cannot"
           Case Is = "couldn": oRngEval.Text = "could not"
           Case Is = "Couldn": oRngEval.Text = "Could not"
           Case Is = "shouldn": oRngEval.Text = "should not"
           Case Is = "Shouldn": oRngEval.Text = "Should not"
           Case Is = "wouldn": oRngEval.Text = "would not"
           Case Is = "Wouldn": oRngEval.Text = "would not"
           Case Is = "won": oRngEval.Text = "will not"
           Case Is = "Won": oRngEval.Text = "will not"
           Case Is = "didn": oRngEval.Text = "did not"
           Case Is = "Didn": oRngEval.Text = "Did not"
           Case Is = "don": oRngEval.Text = "do not"
           Case Is = "Don": oRngEval.Text = "Do not"
         End Select
         oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
       End If
     Wend
  End With
  MsgBox ("Complete!")
lbl_Exit:
  Exit Sub
End Sub


That's incredible, absolutely what I was looking for. Thank you so much Greg!
