VBA format text before colon issue with square bracket

vivka · #2 05-14-2025, 07:55 AM

Hi, Shelley Lou! Although I didn't check it (because I don't have a text sample, only its picture), try this line:

Code:

If oRng.Characters(1).Start = oRng.Paragraphs(1).Range.Characters(1).Start Or oRng.Characters.First.Previous = "[" Then

This will be helpful if the string to find is not inside the paragraph.
Besides, I would insert

Code:

On Error Resume Next

at the beginning of the code to prevent error 91 popping up in case the range to find begins the active doc, because in that case the chr before the rng's 1st chr does not exist.
