    Re: Word Macro: find sub only returning the first instance

    you probably need to look at using findnext, i am sure there would be some example in the help file
    i do my best to test code works before i post it, but sometimes am unable to do so for some reason, and usually say so if this is the case.
    Note code snippets posted are just that and do not include error handling that is required in real world applications, but avoid On Error Resume Next

    dim all variables as required as often i have done so elsewhere in my code but only posted the relevant part

    come back and mark your original post as resolved if your problem is fixed

    Re: Word Macro: find sub only returning the first instance

    I have been reading the helps, but I cannot find any good examples.

    I think that I should probably dim the find string as a variable and then use a
    "For Each" statement if
    .text="search string" then
    .found = true
    (run cut / paste)
    Exit for (loop)

    I still can't get it to loop paste the first find. Any suggestions or URL where there might be some examples?
    Any help is greatly appreciated, I am pulling out my hair.
