I am editing a file in MS Word with a macro that searches for a string of text and then selects and deletes the line on which the text is located. This macro was done by just recording keystrokes. Unfortunately, it doesn't know when to stop. It needs an "if then else" statement to tell it not to delete a line if the string is not found. It would also be nice to be notified that the macro finished without deleting anything. If anyone is familiar with the MS Word macro language, a little help would be appreciated. If I can't get my Word macro to behave itself, I can resort to a JAWS script that issues the Word Find command, tests for a particular character under the cursor and then issues either the appropriate editing commands to Word or plays a sound if the character is not present. I'd rather take the Word macro approach though since it just means doing a little editing of the macro. Gary King w4wkz@xxxxxxxx Gary King mailto:w4wkz@xxxxxxxx
