I’m starting to get more sophisticated vs. my previous attempt, which involved more duplication of code. This code is easier to debug than the version in my previous post because it doesn’t needlessly repeat any stretches of code.
Sub highlight_test_results()
'
' highlight_test_results Macro
' Find instances of "Test Result:" which are not highlighted and:
' - extend selection to end of line`
' - highlight it
'
Dim iCount As Integer
Dim searchDone As Boolean
Dim searchTextArray(0 To 0) As String
Dim searchText As Variant
searchTextArray(0) = "Test Result:"
Options.DefaultHighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
For Each searchText In searchTextArray
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
searchDone = False
iCount = 0
Do While searchDone = False And iCount < 1000
iCount = iCount + 1
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindContinue
.Text = searchText
.Highlight = False
End With
Selection.Find.Execute
If Selection.Find.Found Then
Selection.EndOf Unit:=wdLine, Extend:=wdExtend
Selection.Range.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
Else: searchDone = True
End If
Loop
Next searchText
End Sub
