VBA Format manual numbering so auto numbering code can run

Shelley Lou · #15 08-13-2024, 08:57 AM

Hi Vivka, OMG thanks so much for the updated code and thank you for adding comments, it makes it so much easier to read/understand - thank you for taking the time.

I'm just adding one last thing to the end of the code where the code is inserting a tab after an opening bracket - I added code to remove the tab but it only appears to remove the first instance (in the image at (a)) and not the rest (from (b) onwards) - have I not got the replacement text correct?

Code:

 'Delete tab after opening bracket:
        .text = "^13[\(]^t"
        .Replacement.text = "^p\1("
        .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
