Nesting Find and Replace Macros

[LiCal]

I need help in nesting a Find and Replace Macro into another one.


1. In the word document, the main macro is to find the string "Fri -
Sun" individually; then extend the selection to end of line.

2. the nested marco is then used to replace spaces within the line
selection with tabs.

The below nested Macro will run, but needs Ctrl-Break to stop it; I
appreciate some help in clarifying the usage of the below paramaters
for both Main/sub marcos.

---------------------------------------------
.Forward = (? true ; False)
.Wrap (?wdFindAsk ; wdFindContinue ; wdFindStop)

---------------------------------------------
is it possible to/ how to code NO for the answer to the
wdFindask (Ctrl-H) Dialog Box?

(The msg : Word has finished searching the selection. x replacements
were made. Do you wan to search the remainder of the document? Yes /
No)

You don't need to nest macros. You need to define the found text as a range
and modify the range as required, as in the following example, which assumes
that the end of 'line' is the end of the current paragraph. Reinstate the
comment line if you don't want the spaces in the found string "Fri - Sun"
replaced also.

Dim oRng As Range
With Selection.Find
Do While .Execute(findText:="Fri - Sun", MatchWildcards:=True) =
True
Set oRng = Selection.Range
'oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
oRng.MoveEnd wdParagraph
oRng = Replace(oRng.Text, Chr(32), Chr(9))
Loop
End With
