a small change to a macro needed

[wzrokowiec]

Hello
Two years ago Mr Graham Mayor helped me a lot with writing a macro in Microsof
Visual Basic 6.3 that I've been using till now but I need a small modification
The macro works as follows
it searches through a tekst in an open Word document, finds a string o
characters that is given in a table in a separate file and changes string
foun
in one column to those in the second column
Now I need a small improvement: it should mark with red font color the whol
paragraphs it DOES NOT change. That's all. I'm quoting the macro and need som
help with adding this function

Sub correction(
Dim oChanges As Document, oDoc As Documen
Dim oTable As Tabl
Dim oRng As Rang
Dim rFindText As Range, rReplacement As Rang
Dim i As Lon
Dim sFname As Strin
'************************************
sFname = "C:corrections.doc
'************************************
Set oDoc = ActiveDocumen
Set oChanges = Documents.Open(FileName:=sFname, Visible:=False
Set oTable = oChanges.Tables(1
For i = 1 To oTable.Rows.Coun
Set oRng = oDoc.Rang
Set rFindText = oTable.Cell(i, 1).Rang
rFindText.End = rFindText.End -
Set rReplacement = oTable.Cell(i, 2).Rang
rReplacement.End = rReplacement.End -
With oRng.Fin
.ClearFormattin
.Replacement.ClearFormattin
Do While .Execute(findText:=rFindText,
MatchWholeWord:=True,
MatchWildcards:=False,
Forward:=True,
Wrap:=wdFindContinue) = Tru
oRng.Text = rReplacemen
Loo
End Wit
Next
oChanges.Close wdDoNotSaveChange
End Su

Thank yo

I'm not that good with macros but wouldn't it be easier to change
everything to red to start with and then after each substitution
change that individual paragraph back to black?

Yes, it can be done the other way round. First I change the whole text to re
font color manually and than I run the macro. The point is, however, that stil
I need some help with changing to black font color (this time ) the whol
paragraphs that the macro changes
What is important is the fact that the macro changes only particular words in
given paragraph (wich is good) but at the end I'd like to see which paragraph
where changed and which not

Have a good da

Try this to see if it does what you want. I have added two lines of code.

Sub correction()
Dim oChanges As Document, oDoc As Document
Dim oTable As Table
Dim oRng As Range
Dim rFindText As Range, rReplacement As Range
Dim i As Long
Dim sFname As String
'*************************************
sFname = "C:corrections.doc"
'*************************************
Set oDoc = ActiveDocument
oDoc.Range.Font.ColorIndex = wdRed
Set oChanges = Documents.Open(FileName:=sFname, Visible:=False)
Set oTable = oChanges.Tables(1)
For i = 1 To oTable.Rows.Count
Set oRng = oDoc.Range
Set rFindText = oTable.Cell(i, 1).Range
rFindText.End = rFindText.End - 1
Set rReplacement = oTable.Cell(i, 2).Range
rReplacement.End = rReplacement.End - 1
With oRng.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Replacement.ClearFormatting
Do While .Execute(findText:=rFindText, _
MatchWholeWord:=True, _
MatchWildcards:=False, _
Forward:=True, _
Wrap:=wdFindContinue) = True
oRng.Text = rReplacement
oRng.Paragraphs(1).Range.Font.ColorIndex = wdAuto
Loop
End With
Next i
oChanges.Close wdDoNotSaveChanges
End Sub
