Thanks for rosponding so quickly! If you don't mind I would like to ask one more thing about this though. Because I just tested this macro as follows: first I had 1 word-file with only one paragraph of text in it, then I selected it and ran the macro. Then I went to another document that has a lot of text in it, but I still selected the exact same text as before.

For some reason, the second run took waaaay longer, which gives me the feeling that it is still also scanning al the other text. Could that be? And if so, would you know how to fix that?
