lines

[Andrej Gobec]

Hello!

I'm writing a macro that should convert a .txt file into a Word file in such
a way to eliminate multiple headers that are in the old file and put them
into a Word header. I'm working with old DOS files. I was using
ActiveDocument.Find and .Replace methods to find whatever I needed ...

The problem I'm facing is that sometimes I have lines that are longer than
what Word can manage or ... well, I'm not sure why it doesn't work. I was
using whole paragraphs as a search string, because I couldn't figure out how
to refer to a single line of text and it seems sometimes that is just too
much.

I don't know if there are any simple methods to be able to refer to a single
line in word document? That might help me a lot. Lines in my old files
usually end with a return (as a new paragraph), but in case of these long
lines I think they and with - soft return? (I guess that's what they're
called??)

Anyway, my question is how to reffer to a single line??

thanks,
Andrej

G'day "Andrej Gobec" <[email protected]>,

move along each character until the .information for the end position
changes vertical relative to page.
