Remove hyphenation from copied text from pdf in Word VBA

Hi, Jakov93! There are several types of a dash: minus/hyphen (chr(45)), en-dash (chr(150)), and em-dash (chr(151). Try using each of them or alll of them at once with .MatchWildcards = True:

Code:

.text = "[" & Chr(45) & Chr(150) & Chr(151) & "]" & Chr(32)

Or if you surely want to keep the character and remove dash + space, use:

Code:

    With oRng.Find
        .ClearFormatting
        .Replacement.ClearFormatting
        .text = "(?)- "
        .Replacement.text = "\1"
        .Forward = True
        .Wrap = wdFindStop
        .Format = False
        .MatchCase = False
        .MatchWholeWord = False
        .MatchAllWordForms = False
        .MatchSoundsLike = False
        .MatchWildcards = True
        .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
    End With

Thanks for reply,
vivka, no change occurs after applying the code

within the NO‑producing cell and those in bystander cells35. In mice, NO is considered essential for con‑ trolling Leishmania, as iNOS‑deficient mice are sus‑ ceptible to iNOS (NOS2) in lesions of patients with cutaneous leish‑ maniasis compared with normal skin.

Thanks
