i am attempting to write a macro that with find/replace a string and than move it to an existing heading. The original text is like this:
1. Heading 1
ID: abcd
1.1 Heading 2
ID: abcd
And it should look like:
1.Heading 1 abcd
1.1 Heading 2 abcd
I am having some problems with the code i tried to write, mostly because i am kinda new, but this is what i created so far:
Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Selection.Style = "Heading 2"
With Selection.Find
.Text = "abcd"
.Replacement.Text = "abcd^p"
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Format = True
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = False
.MatchWildcards = True
.MatchSoundsLike = False
.MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
The text is not so important because i managed to replace with what i want but i don't know how to align it with the Heading style.. Thanks
EDIT: I hope i don't screw up again, sorry big :). So i have raw which is the raw text and i want to process it to look like this final. I already found out, thanks to you how to replace the text, it's just that i stuck in the raw version. Thanks, I kinda own you a beer, or two
LATER EDIT: So i have 5 types of Heading formats, 1. Heading 1, 1.1 Heading 2 etc till 5, and all of them have below them an ID, each with a specific number, but the name is the same, ID ASD_PC_AWP_[XXXX]. I just have to get rid of ID ASD_PC_ and put AWP_[xxxx] at same level of the Heading eg: 1.Heading 1 AWP_[xxxx1] ** , **2. Heading 2 AWP_[xxx2]...
Try:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
Dim Rng As Range
With ActiveDocument.Range
With .Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
.Text = "ID:*^13"
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Format = False
.MatchWildcards = True
.Execute
End With
Do While .Find.Found
Set Rng = .Duplicate.GoTo(What:=wdGoToBookmark, Name:="\HeadingLevel")
Rng.End = Rng.Paragraphs.First.Range.End - 1
Rng.InsertAfter Split(Split(.Duplicate.Text, ":")(1), vbCr)(0)
.Text = vbNullString
.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
.Find.Execute
Loop
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
