Mark,
I've been saving this tip up for a while now and finally tried it. It works
beautifully! I have to add a font to it so that I don't eliminate multiple
spaces from my program code examples.
I was wondering if you would mind if I put this in a Soc. for Tech.
Communicators journal. I'd attribute it to you and name the VBA Web site as
you have done.
I look forward to hearing from you...

While on the topic of mistakes and editing I found this which I think most
will find incredibly useful - a quick way to find and replace multiple
spaces between words in a Word document.
In the Find Replace dialog box, select the Wildcard checkbox, then type the
following expression in the Find what box, repalcing the word "space" with
an actual space:
space[space]@([!space])
Type the following expression in the Replace box, also replacing the word
"space" with an actual space.
space\1
This will find and replace multiple spaces between words.
I found this on http://vbaexpress.com in the Word Macro section. I think you
have to be a member to see code examples though.
Cheers Mark
