Delete a paragraph that starts with specific word from selection - vba

Question

I want to delete a paragraph that starts with string "Page:" from the selection
Here is the sample text that I have:
Page: 28
Page: 44 contains a lot of example. But look up here for the detailed
explanation. This may go for more than one, two or three lines. This
totally depends upon the length of the text
Date: 10 Jan 2018
Some text goes here with Page: 108
I’ve some more text here
Few more
Final Text
Page: 208
This is the end
The code I have so far:
Sub DelPara()
Dim para As Paragraph
With Selection.Range.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Text = "[^13^11]Page:"
.Forward = True
.MatchWildcards = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.Execute
If (Selection.Range.Find = True) Then
para.Range.Delete
End If
End With
End Sub
The output should be
Date: 10 Jan 2018
Some text goes here with Page: 108
I’ve some more text here
Few more
Final Text
This is the end

Answer 1

The code below will search all instances of the search term in the current selection and delete the search term plus the entire paragraph in which the end of the term is located.
The key to this is using two Range objects: one for the original Range to be searched (the selection), the other for the actual search. In this way, the range that performs the actual search can be extended from the end of the last successful search to the end of the original range.
Sub DelPara()
Dim rngFind As Word.Range, rngSel As Word.Range
Dim para As Paragraph
Dim bFound As Boolean
Set rngSel = Selection.Range
Set rngFind = rngSel.Duplicate
With rngFind.Find
.ClearFormatting
.text = "[^13^11]Page:"
.Forward = True
.MatchWildcards = True
.wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
bFound = rngFind.Find.Execute
Do While bFound
rngFind.End = rngFind.paragraphs.Last.Range.End
rngFind.Delete
rngFind.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
rngFind.End = rngSel.End
bFound = rngFind.Find.Execute
Loop
End Sub

All you need is a wildcard Find/Replace with:
Find = ^13Page:[!^13]{1,}
Replace = nothing
No code required. At most, you might need to insert an empty paragraph at the beginning of the document and delete it afterwards - but then only if the first para starts with 'Page:'. Nevertheless, as a macro:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range
.InsertBefore vbCr
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Text = "^13Page:[!^13]{1,}"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Format = False
.MatchWildcards = True
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
.Characters.First = vbNullString
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
If you want to process only the selected range, change 'ActiveDocument' to 'Selection'.
