# is space



Case in Find (—; —#; #—; ##—##; —##; ##—; etc...)

Case in Change and Highlight (#—#)

You can do the lot with just two wildcard Find/Replace operations:
Find = —
Replace = ^32—^32
and:
Find = [ ]{1,}—[ ]{1,}
Replace = ^32—^32

Ok i will check that for stories.

but can check where i mistake in the below code.

Sub EmDash()
Dim rngStory As Range
For Each rngStory In ActiveDocument.StoryRanges
Dim MyList() As String
Dim i As Long
Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdTurquoise
MyList = Split("—,[ ]{1,}—[ ]{1,}")
For i = 0 To UBound(MyList())
Set r = ActiveDocument.Range
With rngStory.Find
.Text = MyList(i)
.Replacement.Text = "^32—^32"
.MatchWildcards = True
.MatchCase = True
.Replacement.Highlight = wdTurquoise
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Next
Next
End Sub

Kindly use code tags when posting code. You might at least also examine the code I posted in the link referred to instead of re-posting the same erroneous code you already posted.

I think got now.

Sub Test()
Dim i As Long, NameOrig As Variant
MyList = Array("—", "[ ]{1,}—", "—[ ]{1,}", "[ ]{1,}—[ ]{1,}")
Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdTurquoise
With ActiveDocument.Range.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.MatchWildcards = True
.Replacement.Text = "^32—^32"

For i = 0 To UBound(MyList)
.Text = MyList(i)
.Replacement.Highlight = wdTurquoise
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Next
End With
End Sub

How often do you need to be reminded to use code tags when posting code?

As for the code you posted, it does not loop through all StoryRanges! Moreover, your array and loop are pointless - you really should pay attention to post #2...

Kindly help me on this.

I have already given you the only two F/R expressions you need and pointed you to my reply in https://www.msofficeforums.com/word-...e-i-tried.html. That is more than enough.
