You don't really need to record a macro to do this; just do it.

I can't see how replacing a period and a space with a period and a paragraph
mark is so difficult, and this would largely accomplish what you want. -- Suzanne S.

... i was hoping for help. Within the limitations of the information you initially provided that's what you have got. If you want it as a macro, then Sub CreateParas() Dim oRng As Range Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range With oRng .Text = Replace(oRng.Text, Chr(46) & Chr(32), Chr(46) & Chr(13)) .Text = Replace(oRng.Text, Chr(63) & Chr(32), Chr(63) & Chr(13)) .Text = Replace(oRng.Text, Chr(33) & Chr(32), Chr(33) & Chr(13)) .ParagraphFormat.SpaceAfter = 12 End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm will take you as close as you are likely to get. However you still have the problem that the macro requires a properly constructed sentence in order to have something to work with. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org |
