I need to find and highlight paragraphs without this character "<" at the start of a paragraph

For Each Loops in VBA can start to bog down very quickly in long documents. Better to first find what you are looking for then apply processes:

Sub ScratchMacro()
'A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
Dim oRng As Range
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
oRng.InsertBefore vbCr
With oRng.Find
.Text = Chr(13) & "<"
While .Execute
oRng.Paragraphs(2).Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdBrightGreen
Wend
End With
ActiveDocument.Range.Paragraphs(1).Range.Delete
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub

End Sub

I figured it would be possible to do it with find, but didn't know about this problem and how to do with find.
Thanks gmaxey

eduzs,



Now you do and somebody probably knows how to do it better. That is the beauty of VBA. Never ending learning process.
