Re^2: changing format of the first word of every line in an HTML doc

Sorry if it's too much to ask, but do you happen to have a Macro code for doing this (or any resource I can read to learn this)? =) I've browsed the default Macro list that comes with my MS Word 2007 but I can't find anything that suggests selecting a portion of text from a given line. Besides, I'm not familiar with the VB API for automating MS Office software.

Thanks in advance!

There's a macro recorder that lets you perform actions just like you normally would, and writes these actions to a macro as readable statements. You start recording a macro with it, then hit control-downarrow to go to beginning of the next paragraph, then hit control-shift-rightarrow to select a word, then apply some formatting, then stop the macro recording. Play the macro a few times to make sure it works. Then open the macro for editing and try add a loop around it.	[reply]
