Looking for Macro

RRB · #1 02-08-2024, 02:04 AM

Hi - it is me here again to bother you. Hope you are not getting sick of me...

The document I am doing my scholarly work on is in Hebrew. In Hebrew we use many acronyms that are designated as such with double quotes in them.

So 'Washington District of Columbia' would equal out to 'Washington D"C'

Now these quotes are going to disqualify the whole TC field and it will not be picked up in the TOC field.

So we have to replace it like this:
Washington D/"C
And then it works.

So I need to scan the selected text before it is inserted by the above macro that I wrote and see if there are quotes in the middle of a word they should be replaced with ' /" ' and only then inserted into the TC field.

This is over my small programming head.

Could you help me?

Thanks again

Susan

Hi, RRB! The following will do the job:

Code:

Sub Replace_Double_Quotes()

    With selection.range.Find
        .text = "([A-z])" & Chr(34) & "([A-z])"
        .Replacement.text = "\1/" & Chr(34) & "\2"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindStop
        .Format = False
        .MatchWildcards = True
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    End With
End Sub

If the quotes in the code are not what is needed, find out the ASCII decimal code of the needed quotes and replace '34' with it.

I am at lack of the correct words to express my gratitude.

Maybe you know about this:
The TOC field as a switch to look within a certain bookmark i.e '\B "BookMarkName". now the rea that I have bookmarked has Footnotes, But I see all the TC fields that are in the FN are not being picked up by the TOC field. When I select the text to apply the BM it doesn't allow me to select ALSO the FN area. So how can INclude the FN area within the giving BM?

Thanks a million!!
