Delete empty lines

Not directly related, but why can you also put the execute replace statement outside the with...end with "loop"?

In other words, this:

Code:

Sub Macro1()     With Selection.Find         .ClearFormatting         .Replacement.ClearFormatting         .Text = "^13{2,}"         .Replacement.Text = "^p^p"         .Forward = True         .Wrap = wdFindContinue         .Format = False         .MatchCase = False         .MatchWholeWord = False         .MatchAllWordForms = False         .MatchSoundsLike = False         .MatchWildcards = True         ' .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll     End With
    Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End Sub

Does the Selection.Find just find everything...but do nothing until the execute? If so, why don't you HAVE to put the replace all outside the loop?
