Bug Report Range.Find.Execute sometimes does not work.

[David Thielen]

Hi;

I am trying somehow to get these bugs reported to the Word group (having no
luck so far):

I have a document, you can see the Find bug (Range.Find.Execute will not
find text that exists in the range passed to it and will return text outside
the range passed to it.

This occurs within cells in a table and I can provide the document and the
specific searches that fail.

thanks - dave

Hi;

I am happy to send you a word document and give you the search criteria on
it that will fail. FWIW - this is the one significant bug I have found in the
Word add-in API. And it occurs only for text inside a table.

thanks - dave

Hi

I would be better if you could send me the reproduce document together with
the steps.
Based on my test, I can not reproduce the problem.
Sub Test()
Dim rg As Range
Set rg = Selection.Range
Dim b As Boolean
b = rg.Find.Execute("Hello")
Debug.Print b
End Sub

I did not select the text include the "Hello" string, I get false.

Step 1 is you have to use a specific document I have. How do I get you the
document?

Step 2 is to search for text in a specific paragraph in that document
setting the range to that entire paragraph.

Hi Peter,

You may reach me by removing the "Online" from my email address.

I tried to help Dave with this, a while back, and wasn't able to
reproduce the problem. So if you do get to the bottom of this, I'd
appreciate it if you could post the cause and resolution here

Hello;

I remember - you were terrific in trying to help. And this has driven me up
the wall because it is the only bug I have found in Word itself (everything
else being a problem with the PIAs, the shim, and everything else on
connecting to Word).

thanks again - dave
