Word macro to find any character (^?) without using Selection
I need a word macro to find any character without using Selection. In other words I need the equivalent of '^?'. Thanks!

Several of the questions you have asked here already contain code that finds things without using Selection. I'm sure that, if you invest a few short minutes of your time, you could modify the code you already have to meet your new requirement. It isn't difficult to do.

Thank you, but I don't want to find just 'things'. I need the equivalent of '^?'.

And you can modify code that you already have to do that. It isn't difficult to do.

I have the following macro to find any character before minus. Is it possible to use the equivalent of '^?' instead of the long string in .Text? Can someone help? Thanks!
Code:
Sub CharPlusMinus() 'Find ANY character before - Dim xRng As Range, iType As Integer For iType = 1 To 2 Set xRng = ActiveDocument.StoryRanges(iType) With xRng.Find .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchWildcards = False 'Find any character before - .Text = "[!ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzÀÄÇÈÒÖÙÜßçàäèéìòóöùü0123456789]-[!ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZabcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzÀÄÇÈÒÖÙÜßçàäèéìòóöùü0123456789]" ' .Text = "^?-" .Execute End With Next iType End Sub |

You don't need an equivalent. You just need .Text = "^?-"
If you are unsure of syntax just record a macro. The syntax for Find is identical whether it is used with Selection or a Range. |
