Question

I cannot execute a find in VBA for word to find “If…” Word doesn’t seem to like finding the “If.” part. Any ideas?

   Sub Macro2()
 Selection.Find.ClearFormatting
Selection.Find.Highlight = False
Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting
With Selection.Find
    .Text = "If..."
    .Replacement.Text = "If..."
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindContinue
    .Format = True
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End Sub

Answer 1

Chances are Word replaced the three periods with the single character ellipsis.

As a bonus, the ellipsis should have a space before and after it, it can be a half or thin space, but certainly a non breaking space so it won’t be forced onto a new line.
