italics

[chris chan]

Dear Sir/Madam,
Greetings. I have a problem here and need your assistance.
For the citations shown
below, I have to italicize the words between Foll and
[year]. There are hundreds of them.
Is there a shortcut to speed things up?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks and regards - Chris

If each citation is in a separate paragraph, select all of the citations and
run the following macro

' Throwaway Macro created by Doug Robbins
'
Dim range1 As Range, range2 As Range, i As Long
Set range1 = Selection.Range
For i = 1 To range1.Paragraphs.Count
Set range2 = range1.Paragraphs(i).Range
range2.Start = range2.Start + InStr(range2, "Foll") + 4
range2.End = range2.Start + InStr(range2, "[") - 1
range2.Font.Italic = True
Next i
