Macro Help Needed

[Rev. Michael L. Burns]

Can someone help me create a macro for Word 2007/2010 that will scan a document
and place any text between quotation marks in italics. I routinely quote
sources and scripture passages in my work as a pastor and have been doing
this mannually and would like to automate this process.

Thanks,
Michael

With myRange
Do While
..Find.Execute(FindText:="[^0147^01486^34][A-Za-z]{1,}[^0147^01486^34]", _
MatchWildcards:=True, Wrap:=wdFindStop,
Forward:=True) = True
'.MoveStart Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
'.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1
.Font.Italic = True
.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
Loop
End With
Set myRange = Nothing
End Sub

The code includes the quotation marks making them italic as well. I you
just want the text (i.e., leave the marks themselves alone) then remove the
stet marks ' from the the two Move lines.

Hello Greg,

Thanks for the macro Help. I'll give it a try when I get back ri rhe office
on Tuesday.

Could I impose on you again for help with two more macros that would make
my work simpler?

First, because of failing eyesite I have set my default font and font size
on all documents to Times Romans, 16pt which makes my notes very readable.
However, I routinely go through my completed documents and change the font
size between paragraphs to 6pt. Can a macro be made to do this automaticully?

Second, when teaching a class or preaching, I have for years picked a key
word from my notes and encouraged the children (although I have found the
adults get involved as well) to count how often I use the word in my message
or lesson. I then give the child who comes the closest to the key word count
in my manuscript a prize, usually a candy bar or the likes. This had greatly
incread how much the children, and even the adults, pay attention.

Prior to upgrading from Word 2000 to Word 2007 I used a macro that someone,
I've forgotten who, made for me that would open a dialog box that would ask
for the key word and then scan the document and give me a total of how many
times that word was used in the notes. However, I no longer have the macro
(forgot to save the code) when I did a clean install on my system at the
same time I updated to Office 2007. Could you help in this macro as well
with one change if it possible?

After entering the key word in the dialog box and having the macro scan my
document for the times the key word is used, instead of displaying the total
count in a message box like the old macro used to, if possible I'd like to
have the macro incert a line in my document that would say something like
"Key Word for Today, XXX, is Used YYY Times" where XXX is the Key Word and
YYY is the number of times it is used. I always start my notes with three
lines, centered in bold print, which are the sermon or lesson title, the
text under study, and the date. I'd like the line inserted in bold print
and centered after the date which would mean at the fourth line. If this
could be done, I'd really appreaciate it. If not I could live with the way
the old macro worked.

I know this is a lot to ask but I'm dumber than an oyster win it comes to
coding macros.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for the italicised
quote macro.

Reverend Burns,

You are welcome.

The solution you seek for your first question doesn't really not require a
macro. If I understand you correctly, you have the habit of pressing enter
twice to place a blank paragraph between your current text paragraph and a
new text paragraph and then you want to format that empty paragraph with
font size 6. A better approach would be to create a paragraph style for
your sermon notes that uses Times New Roman 16 pt and 6 points of space
after the paragraph. Hit the enter key once to start a new paragraph.
However, if you really want to stick with your current method you could use:

Sub ScratchMacro()
Dim oPar As Paragraph
For Each oPar In ActiveDocument.Range.Paragraphs
If Len(oPar.Range.Text) = 1 Then
oPar.Range.Font.Size = 8
End If
Next oPar
End Sub

For the second request you could use something like this:

Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()
Dim oRNg As Word.Range
Dim i As Long
Dim pWord As String
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Range
pWord = InputBox("Enter the keyword:", "Key Word")
With oRNg.Find
.Text = pWord
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
i = i + 1
oRNg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Keyword").Range
oRNg.Text = "Keyword for today, " & pWord & ", is Used " & i & " Times"
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", oRNg
End Sub

Use the Ribbon Insert Tab, Links Group, Bookmarks control to insert a
bookmark exactly where you want the results to appear. Name the bookmark
"Keyword"

Good luck.

Hello Again Greg,

I had to run ro rhe office to fetch some papers. I tried the WordsInQuotes
macro while I was there and it shows a compile error in the DoWhile routinr..
There did appear to be a missing contenuation mark ( _) afer Wrap:=wdFindStop,
but I still get an error.

Hello Greg,

That's better but still has a problem. If I type the following:

"This is test 1"
This is test 2
"This is test 3"

It changes eveything to italics.

I tried it on a document I was working on and it did the same thing, italisized
the whole document.

Hello Greg,

The WordsInQuotes macro now works great. Thanks.

I had to add the stet marks in the Move Statements to comment then out as
follows:

'.MoveStart Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
'.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1

Sub WordsInQuotes()
Dim myRange As Range

Hello Greg,

The Scratch macro works great but I may eventually creat a style as you suggested
as soon as I learn a little more.

The Keyword macro works great with one exception. Is there a way to have
it add a blank line after the message is inserted at the bookmark? Right
now, unless I manually insert two blank lines between the date and the body
of the document the tope of the document looks something like this:

Check Your Baggage Here
Matthew 11:28-30
August 22, 2009
Keyword for today, Baggage, is Used 36 Times
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart;
and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My load
is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)

I can live with it the way it is but it would be nice to automate the whole
process.

I reallu appreciate your time and assistance.

The keyword macro below includes your request for more space. I have taken
the liberty of adding a routine to check for the presence of the bookmark
and if it is not in the document it will be created at the cursor.

Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()
Dim oRNg As Word.Range
Dim i As Long
Dim bExists As Boolean
Dim vBM As Variant
Dim oBMs As Bookmarks
Dim pWord As String
Dim sNum As String
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Range
Set oBMs = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
For Each vBM In oBMs
If vBM.name = "Keyword" Then
bExists = True
Exit For
End If
Next vBM
If bExists = False Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", Selection.Range
End If
pWord = InputBox("Enter the keyword:", "Key Word")
With oRNg.Find
.Text = pWord
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
i = i + 1
oRNg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
pWord = Chr(34) & UCase(pWord) & Chr(34)
Select Case i
Case Is = 1
sNum = "once"
Case Is = 2
sNum = "twice"
Case Else
sNum = i & " times"
End Select
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Keyword").Range
oRNg.Text = "Keyword for today, " & pWord & ", is used " & sNum & vbCr
oRNg.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 16
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", oRNg
End Sub

Pastor Burns,

It was a little late last night so I omitted some of the bells and whistles
that my friend Graham later added. He and I use a little different style so
I would have approached the possibility of the missing bookmark as follows:

Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()

With either code, all you have to do is put your cursor where you want the
statistic to appear and run the code. While not impossible, it could be a
little difficult to place the bookmark for you automatically because of your
practice of using empty paragraphs. I think a reasonable approach would be
for you to create a template for your notes that already contains the
bookmark at the proper location whenever you start a new document based on
the template.

Again it was late when I made the modification to the quote macro. It is
supposed to work (and now does) regardless if yo want the qoute marks
themselves included in the italic format or left as is. Unsetting the three
lines belong excludes the marks. Leaving them to run includes the marks.

Hello Greg,

The Scratch macro works great but I may eventually creat a style as you
suggested as soon as I learn a little more.

The Keyword macro works great with one exception. Is there a way to have
it add a blank line after the message is inserted at the bookmark? Right
now, unless I manually insert two blank lines between the date and the
body of the document the tope of the document looks something like this:

Check Your Baggage Here
Matthew 11:28-30
August 22, 2009
Keyword for today, Baggage, is Used 36 Times
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in
heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy, and My
load is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)

I can live with it the way it is but it would be nice to automate the
whole process.

I reallu appreciate your time and assistance.

Michael

Reverend Burns,

You are welcome.

The solution you seek for your first question doesn't really not
require a macro. If I understand you correctly, you have the habit of
pressing enter twice to place a blank paragraph between your current
text paragraph and a new text paragraph and then you want to format
that empty paragraph with font size 6. A better approach would be to
create a paragraph style for your sermon notes that uses Times New
Roman 16 pt and 6 points of space after the paragraph. Hit the enter
key once to start a new paragraph. However, if you really want to
stick with your current method you could use:

Sub ScratchMacro()
Dim oPar As Paragraph
For Each oPar In ActiveDocument.Range.Paragraphs
If Len(oPar.Range.Text) = 1 Then
oPar.Range.Font.Size = 8
End If
Next oPar
End Sub

For the second request you could use something like this:

Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()
Dim oRNg As Word.Range
Dim i As Long
Dim pWord As String
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Range
pWord = InputBox("Enter the keyword:", "Key Word")
With oRNg.Find
.Text = pWord
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
i = i + 1
oRNg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Keyword").Range
oRNg.Text = "Keyword for today, " & pWord & ", is Used " & i & "
Times"
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", oRNg
End Sub
Use the Ribbon Insert Tab, Links Group, Bookmarks control to insert a
bookmark exactly where you want the results to appear. Name the
bookmark "Keyword"

Good luck.

Hello Greg,

Thanks for the macro Help. I'll give it a try when I get back ri rhe
office on Tuesday.

Could I impose on you again for help with two more macros that would
make my work simpler?

First, because of failing eyesite I have set my default font and font
size on all documents to Times Romans, 16pt which makes my notes very
readable. However, I routinely go through my completed documents and
change the font size between paragraphs to 6pt. Can a macro be made
to do this automaticully?

Second, when teaching a class or preaching, I have for years picked a
key word from my notes and encouraged the children (although I have
found the adults get involved as well) to count how often I use the
word in my message or lesson. I then give the child who comes the
closest to the key word count in my manuscript a prize, usually a
candy bar or the likes. This had greatly incread how much the
children, and even the adults, pay attention.

Prior to upgrading from Word 2000 to Word 2007 I used a macro that
someone, I've forgotten who, made for me that would open a dialog box
that would ask for the key word and then scan the document and give
me a total of how many times that word was used in the notes.
However, I no longer have the macro (forgot to save the code) when I
did a clean install on my system at the same time I updated to Office
2007. Could you help in this macro as well with one change if it
possible?

After entering the key word in the dialog box and having the macro
scan my document for the times the key word is used, instead of
displaying the total count in a message box like the old macro used
to, if possible I'd like to have the macro incert a line in my
document that would say something like "Key Word for Today, XXX, is
Used YYY Times" where XXX is the Key Word and YYY is the number of
times it is used. I always start my notes with three lines, centered
in bold print, which are the sermon or lesson title, the text under
study, and the date. I'd like the line inserted in bold print and
centered after the date which would mean at the fourth line. If this
could be done, I'd really appreaciate it. If not I could live with
the way the old macro worked.

I know this is a lot to ask but I'm dumber than an oyster win it
comes to coding macros.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for the
italicised quote macro.

The code includes the quotation marks making them italic as well. I
you just want the text (i.e., leave the marks themselves alone) then
remove the stet marks ' from the the two Move lines.

Pastor Burns,

It was a little late last night so I omitted some of the bells and
whistles that my friend Graham later added. He and I use a little
different style so I would have approached the possibility of the
missing bookmark as follows:
Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Dim i As Long
Dim oBMs As Bookmarks
Dim pWord As String
Dim sNum As String
Set oBMs = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
On Error Resume Next
Set oRng = oBMs("Keyword").Range
If Err.Number = 5941 Then 'Error is produced if BM doesn't exist.
Set oRng = Selection.Range
oBMs.Add "Keyword", oRng
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
pWord = InputBox("Enter the keyword:", "Key Word")
With oRng.Find
.Text = pWord
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
i = i + 1
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
pWord = Chr(34) & UCase(pWord) & Chr(34)
Select Case i
Case Is = 1
sNum = "once"
Case Is = 2
sNum = "twice"
Case Else
sNum = i & " times"
End Select
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Keyword").Range
oRng.Text = "Keyword for today, " & pWord & ", is used " & sNum & vbCr
oRng.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 16
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", oRng

End Sub
For the second request you could use something like this:

Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()
Dim oRNg As Word.Range
Dim i As Long
Dim pWord As String
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Range
pWord = InputBox("Enter the keyword:", "Key Word")
With oRNg.Find
.Text = pWord
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
i = i + 1
oRNg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Keyword").Range
oRNg.Text = "Keyword for today, " & pWord & ", is Used " & i & "
Times"
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", oRNg
End Sub
Use the Ribbon Insert Tab, Links Group, Bookmarks control to insert
a
bookmark exactly where you want the results to appear. Name the
bookmark "Keyword"
Good luck.

Hello Greg,

Thanks for the macro Help. I'll give it a try when I get back ri
rhe office on Tuesday.

Could I impose on you again for help with two more macros that
would make my work simpler?

First, because of failing eyesite I have set my default font and
font size on all documents to Times Romans, 16pt which makes my
notes very readable. However, I routinely go through my completed
documents and change the font size between paragraphs to 6pt. Can a
macro be made to do this automaticully?

Second, when teaching a class or preaching, I have for years picked
a key word from my notes and encouraged the children (although I
have found the adults get involved as well) to count how often I
use the word in my message or lesson. I then give the child who
comes the closest to the key word count in my manuscript a prize,
usually a candy bar or the likes. This had greatly incread how much
the children, and even the adults, pay attention.

Prior to upgrading from Word 2000 to Word 2007 I used a macro that
someone, I've forgotten who, made for me that would open a dialog
box that would ask for the key word and then scan the document and
give me a total of how many times that word was used in the notes.
However, I no longer have the macro (forgot to save the code) when
I
did a clean install on my system at the same time I updated to
Office 2007. Could you help in this macro as well with one change
if it possible?
After entering the key word in the dialog box and having the macro
scan my document for the times the key word is used, instead of
displaying the total count in a message box like the old macro used
to, if possible I'd like to have the macro incert a line in my
document that would say something like "Key Word for Today, XXX, is
Used YYY Times" where XXX is the Key Word and YYY is the number of
times it is used. I always start my notes with three lines,
centered in bold print, which are the sermon or lesson title, the
text under study, and the date. I'd like the line inserted in bold
print and centered after the date which would mean at the fourth
line. If this could be done, I'd really appreaciate it. If not I
could live with the way the old macro worked.

I know this is a lot to ask but I'm dumber than an oyster win it
comes to coding macros.

Any help would be greatly appreciated and thanks again for the
italicised quote macro.

you just want the text (i.e., leave the marks themselves alone)

Hello Greg,

Thanks again for your time and patience. Both the WordsInQuotrs and KeyWord
macro's seem to be working great now.

Thank you ever so much,
Michael

Pastor Burns,

It was a little late last night so I omitted some of the bells and
whistles that my friend Graham later added. He and I use a little
different style so I would have approached the possibility of the
missing bookmark as follows:

Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()
Dim oRng As Word.Range
Dim i As Long
Dim oBMs As Bookmarks
Dim pWord As String
Dim sNum As String
Set oBMs = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
On Error Resume Next
Set oRng = oBMs("Keyword").Range
If Err.Number = 5941 Then 'Error is produced if BM doesn't exist.
Set oRng = Selection.Range
oBMs.Add "Keyword", oRng
End If
On Error GoTo 0
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
pWord = InputBox("Enter the keyword:", "Key Word")
With oRng.Find
.Text = pWord
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
i = i + 1
oRng.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
pWord = Chr(34) & UCase(pWord) & Chr(34)
Select Case i
Case Is = 1
sNum = "once"
Case Is = 2
sNum = "twice"
Case Else
sNum = i & " times"
End Select
Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Keyword").Range
oRng.Text = "Keyword for today, " & pWord & ", is used " & sNum & vbCr
oRng.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 16
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", oRng
End Sub
With either code, all you have to do is put your cursor where you want
the statistic to appear and run the code. While not impossible, it
could be a little difficult to place the bookmark for you
automatically because of your practice of using empty paragraphs. I
think a reasonable approach would be for you to create a template for
your notes that already contains the bookmark at the proper location
whenever you start a new document based on the template.

Again it was late when I made the modification to the quote macro. It
is supposed to work (and now does) regardless if yo want the qoute
marks themselves included in the italic format or left as is.
Unsetting the three lines belong excludes the marks. Leaving them to
run includes the marks.

Sub WordsInQuotes()
Dim myRange As Range
Dim myString As String
Set myRange = ActiveDocument.Range
With myRange.Find
.Text = "[^0147^01486^34]*[^0147^01486^34]"
.MatchWildcards = True
.Wrap = wdFindStop
.Forward = True
While .Execute
With myRange
'.MoveStart Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
'.MoveEnd Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=-1
.Font.Italic = True
.Collapse Direction:=wdCollapseEnd
'.MoveStart Unit:=wdCharacter, Count:=1
End With
Wend
End With
Set myRange = Nothing
End Sub

Hello Greg,

The Scratch macro works great but I may eventually creat a style as
you suggested as soon as I learn a little more.

The Keyword macro works great with one exception. Is there a way to
have it add a blank line after the message is inserted at the
bookmark? Right now, unless I manually insert two blank lines between
the date and the body of the document the tope of the document looks
something like this:

Check Your Baggage Here
Matthew 11:28-30
August 22, 2009
Keyword for today, Baggage, is Used 36 Times
Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you
rest.
Take My yoke upon you, and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble
in
heart; and you shall find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy,
and My
load is light." (Matthew 11:28-30)
I can live with it the way it is but it would be nice to automate the
whole process.

I reallu appreciate your time and assistance.

Michael

Reverend Burns,

You are welcome.

The solution you seek for your first question doesn't really not
require a macro. If I understand you correctly, you have the habit
of pressing enter twice to place a blank paragraph between your
current text paragraph and a new text paragraph and then you want to
format that empty paragraph with font size 6. A better approach
would be to create a paragraph style for your sermon notes that uses
Times New Roman 16 pt and 6 points of space after the paragraph.
Hit the enter key once to start a new paragraph. However, if you
really want to stick with your current method you could use:

Sub ScratchMacro()
Dim oPar As Paragraph
For Each oPar In ActiveDocument.Range.Paragraphs
If Len(oPar.Range.Text) = 1 Then
oPar.Range.Font.Size = 8
End If
Next oPar
End Sub
For the second request you could use something like this:

Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()
Dim oRNg As Word.Range
Dim i As Long
Dim pWord As String
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Range
pWord = InputBox("Enter the keyword:", "Key Word")
With oRNg.Find
.Text = pWord
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
i = i + 1
oRNg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Keyword").Range
oRNg.Text = "Keyword for today, " & pWord & ", is Used " & i & "
Times"
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", oRNg
End Sub
Use the Ribbon Insert Tab, Links Group, Bookmarks control to insert
a
bookmark exactly where you want the results to appear. Name the
bookmark "Keyword"

Hello Graham,

Just a short note to say thanks for your help. The macro does what I
want.
Much appreciated,
Michael

The keyword macro below includes your request for more space. I have
taken the liberty of adding a routine to check for the presence of
the bookmark and if it is not in the document it will be created at
the cursor.

Sub ScratchKeyWordMacro()
Dim oRNg As Word.Range
Dim i As Long
Dim bExists As Boolean
Dim vBM As Variant
Dim oBMs As Bookmarks
Dim pWord As String
Dim sNum As String
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Range
Set oBMs = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks
For Each vBM In oBMs
If vBM.name = "Keyword" Then
bExists = True
Exit For
End If
Next vBM
If bExists = False Then
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", Selection.Range
End If
pWord = InputBox("Enter the keyword:", "Key Word")
With oRNg.Find
.Text = pWord
.MatchCase = False
.MatchWholeWord = True
While .Execute
i = i + 1
oRNg.Collapse wdCollapseEnd
Wend
End With
pWord = Chr(34) & UCase(pWord) & Chr(34)
Select Case i
Case Is = 1
sNum = "once"
Case Is = 2
sNum = "twice"
Case Else
sNum = i & " times"
End Select
Set oRNg = ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Keyword").Range
oRNg.Text = "Keyword for today, " & pWord & ", is used " & sNum &
vbCr oRNg.ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 16
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add "Keyword", oRNg
