Use a custom function in Word to count specific characters

zelarra821 · #1 07-20-2023, 09:48 AM

Hello. Thank you very much for accepting me.

First of all, this is my first time doing something in VBA for Word, so I don't have much of an idea. Yes, it is true that I have worked with VBA for Excel and Access.

Let me tell you.

I have a Word document in which I have created, using VBA, a function that tells me the number of times certain characters are repeated.

Code:

Function Hecho() As Integer 

Dim iCount As Long 

Dim strSearch As String 

 

strSearch = "**" 

iCount = 0 

 

With ActiveDocument.Content.Find 

    .Text = strSearch 

    .Format = False 

    .Wrap = wdFindStop 

    Do While .Execute 

        iCount = iCount + 1 

    Loop 

End With 

 

Hecho = iCount / 2 

 

End Function

Now, I would like to display the result of that function in the document. I'm looking for information on Google and I can't find anything about it.

Could anyone help me?

Thank you so much.
