Red Text


I have a template document - in which some the text in various places
is in RED “instructions etc” which is to be deleted before its saved.

Can someone suggest a “macro” which can select all the “RED” text and
then delete it.

Thanks

Johnny
 
Sub DeleteRed()
Dim orng As Range
Set orng = ActiveDocument.Range
With orng.Find
.Font.Color = wdColorRed
Do While .Execute(Forward:=True)
orng.Delete
Loop
End With
End Sub

Graham has provided the macro you need, but you don't really need a macro if
you're doing it yourself:

1. Ctrl+H to open the Replace dialog.

2. Click More to expand the dialog.

3. With the insertion point in the (empty) "Find what" box, click Format,
then Font, and choose red as the color. You will see "Format: Font color:
Red" under the "Find what" box.

4. Leaving the "Replace with" box empty, click Replace All.
