Just like the previous column, the script in this column starts out by creating a constant named wdReplaceAll and setting the value to 2 we’ll use this constant to tell Word to automatically replace all instances of the target text. If you don’t fully understand the basic workings of this script (for example, how you conduct a find-and-replace operation in Microsoft Word in the first place) please see the boldfacing column for more details. Because of that we’ll skip much of the explanation, and focus on the differences between this script and the boldfacing script. Like we said, this column is largely a rehash of a previous column on boldfacing words in a Word document.
Set objWord = CreateObject("Word.Application") But here’s a script that searches for two words – boldface and the – and highlights either of those words if found: Const wdReplaceAll = 2 You need to search for any of 305 different words and then highlight those words if found? Well, we won’t actually show a script that uses 305 different words. We saved that column, then waited for the opportunity to use it all over again.Īnd, lo and behold, here’s our opportunity. Now, someone who really was hardworking and dedicated would write that column and then forgot about it, moving on to the next challenge.

For example, not too long ago we answered a question on how to search a Word document for a specific word and, if found, boldface that word. If you ever decide to write a daily scripting column, our advice would be to write one column and then figure out how to keep writing that same column over and over again. Well, just between you and us, here’s the secret: we don’t actually write a new column each day. But you guys know better: you’d like to know how we really manage to write a brand-new column each day. Needless to say, the Scripting Guys reply with a very thoughtful monologue about the values of hard work, dedication, and devotion both to Microsoft and to Microsoft’s customers. “How do you find the time to write a brand-new column each and every day?”
However, most of our fellow writers do grudgingly concede that writing a daily scripting column is a noteworthy endeavor. This might be hard for you to believe, but the rest of the technical writing community doesn’t exactly hold the Scripting Guys in awe. Hey, Scripting Guy! How can I search a Word document for any of 305 different words and highlight these words if they are found?
