How to insert colon at the start of every indentation
Hello,
I want to insert colon after every indentation to an existing text. Example: My current text is like this: JOHN Good morning! JACK Good morning! And I want it to be like this (with a command) because the existing text is very long to enter them manually, one by one. JOHN : Good morning! JACK : Good morning! What do I need to do to insert colon in every line after second indentation? Thank you in advance. |

Based on insufficient information, the following will do what you ask. You will need to list the names used in the string strNames each separated by |. The code should only add the colons where they are not present (based on your message text). http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm
Code:
Sub AddColons() Dim VName As Variant Dim oRng As Range Dim oRng2 As Range Dim i As Long Const strNames As String = "JOHN|JACK" VName = Split(strNames, "|") For i = 0 To UBound(VName) Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range With oRng.Find Do While .Execute(FindText:=VName(i), MatchWildcards:=True) If oRng.Start = oRng.Paragraphs(1).Range.Start Then Set oRng2 = oRng.Duplicate oRng2.End = oRng2.End + 2 If Not oRng2.Characters.Last = ":" Then oRng.InsertAfter " :" End If oRng.Collapse 0 End If Loop End With Next i End Sub

If this is a long text, something like a script or an extensive dialogue for role-play, perhaps you could consider setting up styles that insert the names as a prefix.
