    Lightbulb Word VBA, Inputs in Pop-up to Replace Static Items..

    I would like to start by saying thank you to whomever can accomplish this as I have no clue and am willing to learn through your response.

    I have a document in Microsoft Word that has some language that needs to be changed based on certain parameters, I normally do this with Microsoft Word’s “replace” function from the home tab; the problem is, I do this too many times and need to cut down on any potential for mistakes. I was wondering if anybody knows of a way or can VBA a way to pull up a dialogue box of sorts that once filled out, the VBA would perform the Search and Replace in bulk… basically to have me fill in the blanks, and have all instances of the words in the example below replaced with the inputs from the dialogue box?

    Here’s an example of what I need from a dialogue box (NOTE: the Brackets are included as part of the word):

    use a userform with some textboxes for replacements and labels (or textboxes) for text to be replaced
    if the text to be replaced is always the same, they can be filled in at design time (when creating the form), or they can be filled in by code from an outside source at run time

    have an OK button to click when all boxes are filled, then use find and replace for each pair of boxes
    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
