Macropod, I know this string is old, but I just found it, and I am trying to use your title case code. However, Word 2016 chocks on this line: StrPunct = "!,;,:,.,?,/,(,{,[,<,",""". Is there a different way to format it? In the forum, it looks like the next to last quote (inside the lasts comma) is a left curly quote. Could that be the issue? Anyway, I just copied and pasted your code into the VBA editor in Word and tried to run it and it stops on the StrPunct line (which I thought it might because it's higlighted in red). Thanks! |

Here is what I'm running from Graham Mayor's vba examples: Code:
Sub TrueTitleCase() ' Graham Mayor ' Graham Mayor vba examples page 2 ' Creates true title case - sort of ' See http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples_2.htm ' 2014-01-31 - tab formatting added to vba by ckk ' Dim sText As range, vFindText As Variant, vReplText As Variant, _ i As Long, k As Long, m As Long ' Set sText = Selection.range 'count the characters in the selected string k = Len(sText) If k < 1 Then 'If none, then no string is selected 'so warn the user MsgBox "Select the text first!", vbOKOnly, "No text selected" Exit Sub 'and quit the macro End If 'format the selected string as title case sText.Case = wdTitleWord 'list the exceptions to look for in an array vFindText = Array("A", "An", "And", "As", "At", "But", "By", "For", _ "If", "In", "Of", "On", "Or", "The", "To", "With") 'list their replacements in a matching array vReplText = Array("a", "an", "and", "as", "at", "but", "by", "for", _ "if", "in", "of", "on", "or", "the", "to", "with") With sText With .Find 'replace items in the first list 'with the corresponding items from the second .ClearFormatting .Replacement.ClearFormatting .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindStop .MatchWholeWord = True .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False .Format = True .MatchCase = True For i = LBound(vFindText) To UBound(vFindText) .Text = vFindText(i) .Replacement.Text = vReplText(i) .Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll Next i End With 'Reduce the range of the selected text 'to encompass only the first character .MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-Len(sText) + 1 'format that character as upper case .Case = wdUpperCase 'restore the selected text to its original length .MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=k 'and check to see if the string contains a colon If InStr(1, sText, ":") > 0 Then 'If it does note the position of the character 'after the first colon m = InStr(1, sText, ":") + 1 'and set that as the new start of the selected text .MoveStart wdCharacter, m 'set the end of the selected text to include 'one extra character .MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-Len(sText) + 1 'format that character as upper case .Case = wdUpperCase End If End With End Sub Save time in word with new buttons that show up where you need them. It gives true title case including the word "you." Save Time in Word with New Buttons That Show Up Where You Need Them. I tried what I have from Paul's code, which does run fine on my computer, and it did not capitalize the "you." (You is in the exclusion list of the function.) Save Time in Word with New Buttons That Show Up Where you Need Them. The difference is in the exclusion lists, I expect. Paul's macro covers more things though.

As posted, it appears you've converted the smart quote to plain quote.

Ok. Dumb question. How do I paste the smart quote? It may be that I copied the macro to a word doc so I could send it to myself at the office cause I can't access this forum at the office. Anyway, it seems to paste as plain text. Thanks.

You could overtype the offending quote character with Alt-0147

Thanks for the add'l info. I tried pasting it into the VBA editor at home and it worked fine so there's something lost in translation by my sending the code to the office so I'll send my template file home and past the code there, which I'm sure will then work.
