I am editing some text files written in Coptic language using non Unicode fonts. I am converting the files to Unicode.
The files I were written using three fonts to represent pronunciation dialects.
I want to create a macro to search and replace the non Unicode characters with Unicode ones.
I want to limit the search and replace to certain fonts. I tried to record a macro, but the font choices did not record.
The end result will be replacing the characters in one of the fonts (that had dialect marks built into the character) with a Unicode character in addition to the dialect mark separately.
Is there a way to modify the code below to limit the search and replace function to the characters written in a particular font?

Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "n"
.Replacement.Text = ChrW(11419) & ChrW(769)
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchKashida = False
.MatchDiacritics = False
.MatchAlefHamza = False
.MatchControl = False
.MatchWildcards = False

.MatchAllWordForms = False

Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll

With Selection.Find
.Text = "n"
' Clear all previously set formatting for Find dialog box.
.ClearFormatting
' Set font to Find for replacement.
.Font.Name = "EXISTING FONT NAME"
' Clear all previously set formatting for Replace dialog box.
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
' Set font to Replace found font.
.Replacement.Font.Name = "NEW FONT NAME"
.Replacement.Text = ChrW(11419) & ChrW(769)

I have the following macro. It changes numbers of the form x.x to x,x. It was recorded and I added the IF statement to make sure a text is selected to prevent the user from doing it on the whole document.
Sub fixComma()
'
' fixComma Macro
'
'
If (Selection.Start <> Selection.End) Then
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.LanguageID = wdEnglishUS
With Selection.Find
.Text = "([0-9]).([0-9])"
.Replacement.Text = "\1,\2"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindAsk
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchKashida = False
.MatchDiacritics = False
.MatchAlefHamza = False
.MatchControl = False
.MatchByte = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
Else
MsgBox "Nothing is selected, Macro terminated"
End If
End Sub
The problem is it is changing the whole document and not just the selection.
Changing
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
to
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceOne
Will get it so the first instance of x.x in a selection will change to x,x and not the whole document.
Edit: if you want all items in a selected area only to change then keep:
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
But change
.Wrap = wdFindAsk
to
.Wrap = wdFindStop
How to find all bold fonts with VBA? Without any editing, I just want to select all these bold fonts. I can do it with Word's own "Find and Replace" function, but recording a macro has no effect.
The desired effect is as follows.
The following code is the recorded macro, which is not valid.
Sub Macro1()
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Font.Bold = True
With Selection.Find
.Text = ""
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchByte = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
End Sub
Although it should not be difficult to implement this function, I have searched the web for many days without finding the right answer.
I am new to VBA in MS Word, and only somewhat comfortable with VBA in Excel.
I am trying to process a Word file that has some special information attached to many words. The information is conveyed by changing the color, size, and position of the text, but there is no space between the word and the information.
In order to do some other processing, I need to add a space between the information text and the actual word:
Using VBA I am able to find the informational text by color, using a slight variation on the method described here. I can replace it with "Test". But what I want to do is replace it with a space plus the infromational text. Or perhaps just magically insert a space right before the informational text.
Ideas?
This code:
Sub ChangeColorWithReplace()
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Font.Color = RGB(120, 48, 191)
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
'Selection.Find.Replacement.Font.Color = wdColorRed
With Selection.Find
.Text = ""
.Replacement.Text = "test"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchKashida = False
.MatchDiacritics = False
.MatchAlefHamza = False
.MatchControl = False
.MatchByte = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
Produces this result:
A neat thing with Word's Find/Replace functionality is that you can use special characters to perform actions like this. Click the "More" button, the "Special" to see a list.
In this case, what you want is to retain the "Find text" in your replacement, which is the character set: ^& which I've added to your sample code, below.
Sub ChangeColorWithReplace()
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Font.Color = RGB(120, 48, 191)
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = ""
.Replacement.Text = "^&test"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchKashida = False
.MatchDiacritics = False
.MatchAlefHamza = False
.MatchControl = False
.MatchByte = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
in my word file there are hundrens of paragraph which like the format below. There is a single letter Y here. It can be other letter except "A","T","C","G". I want to remove the white space in it then create a new line.
AAATGGGCCC CACAGAAGTG AGAATGGGTG AAGTCAGAAT TCCTGGTAAT GAAGTGCTTG
AACTTGGATT CCTCCCGACA TGTGCAGTAC AATGAGATGA TTTTCTCCTT AATGAGATTA
GGAAATTCTA TTAGCGCTCC CAGCTGCTGA CCCGATTCCA TGAGGCTGAG GCTCCAGGGC

CTAAAGCTGT GGTCTGCCCC CAGGGGTGCC CAGTTTCCTC CCTTCACCCT GTGCTCCAGA
GGAGTGTGGG GCCCTGGGCA TTCTGCAGTG TACCCCAGGA TCCTCACTCC TTCCTGCTTA
The new line's format is
AAATGGGCCCCACAGAAGTGAGAATGGGTGAAGTCAGAATTCCTGGTAATGAAGTGCTTGAACTTGGATTCCTCCCGACATGTGCAGTACAATGAGATGATTTTCTCCTTAATGAGATTAGGAAATTCTATTAGCGCTCCCAGCTGCTGACCCGATTCCATGAGGCTGAGGCTCCAGGGCTGAACCTGCCTGGTT[Y]AGTGTTCCTGGAAACTAGACACCCCACCCTTCAGATGGGCCAGGGCCTCCCCAGCTCTACCTAAAGCTGTGGTCTGCCCCCAGGGGTGCCCAGTTTCCTCCCTTCACCCTGTGCTCCAGAGGAGTGTGGGGCCCTGGGCATTCTGCAGTGTACCCCAGGATCCTCACTCCTTCCTGCTTA
Notice Y becomes [Y].
The final result will be saved as a text file. Thanks for help.
You don't need to write a program. The “Replace” tool is sufficient for this:
Replace Y with [Y] (EDIT: see the comments below, because it's a little more complex than that indeed)
Replace ^w with nothing (^w means whitespace)
Replace ^p with nothing (^p means paragraph markers)
EDIT: if you need a macro, just do the above once while recording a macro.
EDIT: by applying the method discussed in the comments, I get the following VBA macro:
Sub ProcessATCG()
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Text = "([!ACGT^13^32])"
.Replacement.Text = "[\1]"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
With Selection.Find
.Text = "[^13^32]"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
I make a several page word document every week. I copy text from a PDF and paste it into a word document, I then format the text that I pasted.
This takes a long time and i would like to automate it.
I need a macro or some code to select specific text, then make that text bold. The specific text i need to bold is what i call a scrap code.
There are 60 different codes. For example "FIPS", or "LILL".
Something like this:
Sub A()
'
' a Macro
'
'
Dim A(3) As String
A(1) = "code1"
A(2) = "code2"
A(3) = "code3"
For i = 1 To 3
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Format = False
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.Replacement.Font.Bold = True
.Execute FindText:=A(i), ReplaceWith:=A(i), Format:=True, _
Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Next i
End Sub
HTH!
Edit
To switch dollar amounts to bold
Sub a()
'
' a Macro
'
'
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.Font.Bold = True
With Selection.Find
.Text = "$([0-9.,]{1,})"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchWildcards = True
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub
I would suggest recording a macro.
Then do all the modifications and formatting.
Finally, look at the code of the macro and see how it did it.
The one thing you need to figure out is how you logically want to locate the text you want to bold.
Is it a specific line? Is it at the beginning of a known word?
Once you have that answered, you can combine it with the code of the macro and automate the task.
