    Macro Loops in MS Word

    Hello All, Im at a bit of a mental block. i have a macro that will go through a word file and delete a Row that conatins the string **DELETE** However running this macro will only execute once, and delete the first matching string. I want to run the macro code through a loop so it will continue to delete all the rows with that text string until it reaches the end of the file.

    Something similiar to :
    Do
    {my macro code here}
    Loop Until EOF

    But i cant seem to get it right. Here is my code for the macro

    Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
    With Selection.Find
    .Text = "*DELETE"
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = False
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
    End With
    Selection.Find.Execute
    Selection.Rows.Delete
    Set Object = Collection.Next

    THANKS FOR THE HELP!
