Thanks Jim

documents.
it is a one time deal and the customer needed to have the results.

your help was fantastic.

I'll look at it some more on Monday. You might examine the selection object
in the Word application. It has numerous properties and methods one or more
of which should do the trick.

yes in a table cell.
again your code is working super.
but only grabs the first word, sometimes there is more than one word in the
cell, and I would like to capture all of them.
if you have thought, I would welcome it.


again I tried to manipulate the code further but it acts very erratic when
in a table cell.

thanks for the great help.

So the data you want (including the search string) is in a table cell? In
the code I sent you delete
   wd.Selection.Start = wd.Selection.End
   Call wd.Selection.EndOf(wdSentence, wdExtend)

and replace with
   wd.Selection.Next(Unit:=wdWord, Count:=1).Select

Or if the entire string is returned you can replace the search string with
an empty string "" using the following function:

Function ReplaceString(strTextIn As String, strFind As String, strReplace As
String, fCaseSensitive As Boolean) As String

  Dim strTmp As String
  Dim intPos As Integer
  Dim intCaseSensitive As Integer

  intCaseSensitive = IIf(fCaseSensitive, 2, 1)

  strTmp = strTextIn
  intPos = InStr(1, strTmp, strFind, intCaseSensitive)

  Do While intPos > 0
    strTmp = Left$(strTmp, intPos - 1) & strReplace & Mid$(strTmp, intPos +
Len(strFind))
    intPos = InStr(intPos + Len(strReplace), strTmp, strFind,
intCaseSensitive)
  Loop

  ReplaceString = strTmp

End Function
