Hi Janet, better to just credit the actual author, or Web site. The only credit I can take was for finding the article and making it usable for those not familiar with Word macros. The original article can be found at http://vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=613. But again I think you have to register to see the code examples. Might be worth suggesting registering, as lots of good info can be found, especially around the more obscure parts of Word and other Office applications. Cheers Mark. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:austechwriter-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Janet Taylor Sent: Friday, 10 November 2006 1:49 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: Mistakes and editing 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... -----Original Message----- From: mkofler [mailto:mkofler@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Friday, 6 October 2006 6:35 PM To: austechwriter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: atw: Re: Mistakes and editing 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.
