I need a macro that replaces his/her or he/she with a conditional merge field. Thanks to another website, I was able to replace these pronouns with a merge field, but not a conditional merge field without crashing MS Word. Below is the code that I used.
Sub TestAddIf()
Dim doc As Word.Document
Dim mRng As Range
Set doc = ActiveDocument
Set mRng = ActiveDocument.Range
With oRng.Find
Do While .Execute(FindText:="he")
doc.MailMerge.Fields.AddIf mRng, _
MERGEFIELD:="""Client_Sex""", Comparison:=wdMergeIfEqual, CompareTo:="M", _
truetext:="he", _
falsetext:="she"
mRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Loop
End With
End Sub
Try the following macro, which deals with 'he', 'his', 'him', and 'male' throughout the document (delete the ',male' & ',female' terms if you don't want them).
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range, RngFld As Range, StrFnd As String, StrRep As String, StrCode As String, i As Long, j As Long
StrM = "he,his,him,male": StrF = "she,her,her,female"
With ActiveDocument
For i = 0 To UBound(Split(StrM, ","))
StrCode = "IFX= ""M"" """ & Split(StrM, ",")(i) & """ """ & Split(StrF, ",")(i) & """"
j = Len(StrCode) + 4
Set Rng = .Range(0, 0)
.Fields.Add Range:=Rng, Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:=StrCode, PreserveFormatting:=False
Rng.End = Rng.End + j
.Fields.Add Range:=Rng.Characters(5), Type:=wdFieldEmpty, Text:="MERGEFIELD Client_Sex", PreserveFormatting:=False
Rng.Cut
With .Range.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
.MatchWildcards = False
.Text = Split(StrM, ",")(i)

I am trying to VBA my way into automating a process that my team and myself currently do manually-- taking a Word document and splitting it into multiple documents based on H1 sections (by which I mean, if a doc has 6 H1s, then we wind up with 6 documents).
I have found some code that works well enough, but there are a couple pieces that I can't quite puzzle out.
Getting the footers from my original document to show up in the subdocuments, and
adding a sequential number at the start of each file name.
The former requirement is pretty simple-- my original doc has a footer on it, and I'd like the documents that the code spits out to have the same footer. Right now, the resulting files have blank footers. The latter requirement is that I ultimately would like the new files to have file names with the format "XX - [HeadingText].docx". The code I'm using gets me the heading text just fine, but I can't seem to plug in the sequential numbering.
Here's the code I'm using; any help would be appreciated!

I have written a macro in Word to convert US spellings to UK. In summary, it looks like this:
US_spelling = analyze
UK-spelling = analyse
Call Spell_change (US_spelling, UK_spelling)
The Spell_change sub changes the spelling, adds a comment to the document, and adds 1 to a counter.
I repeat the above three lines, i.e. call the Spell_change sub, about 140 times (for 'program', 'dialog' etc).
Is there a more efficient way of doing this?
Many thanks.
Since you've changed the tag to refer to VBA, perhaps:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim StrFnd As String, StrRep As String, i As Long, Cmt As Comment, StrOut As String
StrFnd = "analyze,color,labor"
StrRep = "analyse,colour,labour"
StrOut = "US_spelling" & vbTab & "UK_spelling"
With ActiveDocument
With .Range.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = True
For i = 0 To UBound(Split(StrFnd, ","))
.Text = Split(StrFnd, ",")(i)
.Replacement.Text = Split(StrRep, ",")(i)
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
If .Found = True Then StrOut = StrOut & vbCr & Split(StrFnd, ",")(i) & vbTab & Split(StrRep, ",")(i)
Next
End With
Set Cmt = .Comments.Add(Range:=.Range(0, 0), Text:=StrOut & vbCr & "Total: " & UBound(Split(StrOut, vbCr)))
With Cmt
.Author = ""
With .Range.Paragraphs
.First.Range.Font.Bold = True
.Last.Range.Font.Bold = True
End With
End With
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
The above code inserts a comment at the top of the document with a record of all words found & changed, plus a count of those words (but not how many times each word was replaced).
I am using this code which is a batch find and replace macro. It finds and replaces the words in the document by reading the replacement words from another document (text.docx). This works absolutely fine when there are a handful of changes (i.e. less than 1 page). However, I hope to use this macro on documents that are 10-20 pages. When I use it, the word document just immediately crashes (starts not responding) and has to be forced to quit.
Does anyone have any tips on what can be done to prevent it from crashing? How can I modify the code to batch edit thousands of words? Code is below.
Thanks in advance!

Your use of the FormattedText method to reproduce the formatting necessitates a time-consuming loop for each expression. The more the find expression occurs in the target document, the longer the process will take. Your unnecessary use of oRng.Select (which you don't then do anything with) makes it even slower - especially since you don't disable ScreenUpdating. The following macro avoids the need for the FormattedText looping:
Sub BulkFindReplace()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim ThisDoc As Document, FRDoc As Document, Rng As Range, i As Long, j As Long, StrRep As String, StrCount As String
Set ThisDoc = ActiveDocument

With ThisDoc.Range.Find

.Format = False
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
'Process each word from the F/R Table
For i = 1 To FRDoc.Tables(1).Rows.Count
Set Rng = FRDoc.Tables(1).Rows(i).Cells(1).Range
Rng.End = Rng.End - 1
.Text = Rng
StrCount = StrCount & vbCr & Rng.Text & ":" & vbTab & _
(Len(ThisDoc.Range.Text) - Len(Replace(ThisDoc.Range, Rng.Text, ""))) / Len(Rng.Text)
Set Rng = FRDoc.Tables(1).Rows(i).Cells(2).Range

How Can I find and trim spaces between quotation text?
for example: if the word contains the following string:
I say to him ' why should I? ' he answers...
It will replace:
I say to him 'why should I?' he answers...
I know that the regular expression to find text in the quotation is:(\'*?\') but from here I could not progress.
Any help will be highly appreciated

For a VBA solution, try:
Sub Demo()
Dim Rng As Range, Rslt
With ActiveDocument.Range
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Text = "[‘'][!^13^l^t]#['’]"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Format = False
.MatchWildcards = True
.Execute
End With
Do While .Find.Found
.Select
Set Rng = .Duplicate
With Rng
.Start = .Start + 1
.End = .End - 1
If .Text <> Trim(.Text) Then
Rslt = MsgBox("Trim this instance?", vbYesNoCancel)
If Rslt = vbCancel Then Exit Sub
If Rslt = vbYes Then
Do While .Characters.Last = " "
.Characters.Last = vbNullString
Loop
Do While .Characters.First = " "
.Characters.First = vbNullString
Loop
End If
End If
End With
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.Find.Execute
Loop
End With
End Sub
Note: If the strings don't have any formatting applied, you could reduce:
Do While .Characters.Last = " "
.Characters.Last = vbNullString
Loop
Do While .Characters.First = " "
.Characters.First = vbNullString
Loop
to:
.Text = Trim(.Text)
To work with just a selected range, change:
Dim Rng As Range, Rslt
With ActiveDocument.Range
to:
Dim Rng As Range, RngSel As Range, Rslt
With Selection.Range
Set RngSel = .Duplicate
and insert:
If .InRange(RngSel) = False Then Exit Sub
before:
.Select
I have a large file I have split into many separate rtf files with this slightly modified code I got online. The problem was I didn't want to include the Heading 1 text in the output file. However the Heading 1 data is used to create the filename of each output document.
This is the format of the file I am splitting to new files.
1.1.1 This would be marked Heading1 style
some text in here some text in here some text in here some text in here
1.1.2 This would be marked Heading1 style
some text in here some text in here some text in here some text in here
1.1.3 This would be marked Heading1 style
some text in here some text in here some text in here some text in here
=============================================================================== So what it outputs are files named 1.1.1.rtf, 1.1.2.rtf etc and would just contain the body text, but no heading.
repeats to end
Any guidance will be appreciated.

These two sets macro will work. Each one splits a document on Heading1 style into separate documents with the document named as the Heading1 it was split at, and the Heading1 is not included in the new document. That is just perfect.
Here are the two sets of macro two for output in .rtf and two for docx Also in these macro I removed the . from being an illegal character as I did need the output to be as per the Heading1 exactly. Thanks macropod for taking the time to sort this. I will try to learn more about macros.
