Hi Paul:

Thanks again.

I tried both approaches, one at a time with no change whatsoever in the result.

The macro stops at and highlights the first hit and will go no farther. A message tells me that the macro found an unpaired quote.



Since you mentioned 'selection', I also tried clicking 'select all' prior to launching the Macro but that did not work as when the macro highlights the first hit, the 'select all'
highlighting goes away as I expected it would.

Am I not understanding what you mean by 'selection'?

If I could chose my starting points I could fix the hits that are bad and jump over the hits that are OK as is and continue on.

If it could be made to highlight all 'hits', that would work but every time I fix a highlighted hit, all of the other highlights would probably go away and I would have to run the macro again to re highlight them but I could still do the job.

Any Ideas will be appreciated.

For the most part what I am trying to find is one line two or three word name like
"Cox Babe Bee" or Fox .59" with one of it's quotes missing or being an incorrect character.

Best regards,
Billob
