Hi,
Forgive my ignorance but I am new to Word Programming.
I need to be able to search a document character by character. If the
Character is formatted as "Dark Blue" in colour I need to extract the
character from the source document to a new document (target) and continue
search and extract until the end of the source document is reached.
I know this request may sound a bit odd, so here's the reason why.
I've written a book (approximately 280000 words - 640 pages) and I want to
be able to extract just the Dialogue (enclosed by single quotation marks and
formatted in Dark blue, so that it stands out from the narrative)
The entire source document is written in font : Times New Roman, regular, 12
point
I have only used the "normal" paragraph style.
The situation is complicated by that the fact that only part of any given
paragraph may be dark blue (dialogue) which the rest is Black (narrative)
What I'm hoping for is a single target document that contains just the
dialogue (Dark Blue text)
Any thoughts on this conundrum would be much appreciated.
Mnay thanks
