Word Macro to convert Roman references

WJSwanepoel · #1 01-08-2021, 04:11 AM

I have a huge Word document with lots of Roman references. They typically look like this:

Xxxx. n. m.

Where n is a Roman number and m is an Arabic number. The Xxxx is 2 tot 4 Alphabetic characters (which must appear in a list of valid abbreviations).

It then needs to be converted to read:

Xxxx. n:m, but where n and m are now both Arabic numbers.

Eg. Hand. vii. 11 must be converted to Hand. 7:11

Can someone perhaps help to get me started on it? I am rather new to MS Macros.

Warm Regards,
Willem
