Highlight some text on startup

[Ian H]

Hi there,

I'm a complete novice at word programming
- normally I'd take the time to work this out for myself, but I need to get
something going really quickly.

Is there an easy way to start word with some text within the opened document
automatically highlighted?

e.g. winword /m:highlight "TEXT PHRASE" or "SINGLEWORD"

Would highlight all the occurences of the text phrase or the singleword.

All help gratefully received.

Thanks,
Ian.

The Document_Open event can do a FnR with that text and highlighting
set on the target. Use the dropdowns inside of the ThisDocument object
in your VBE (Alt+F11).


Dim Marker as Range

Set Marker=ActiveDocument.Content
With Marker.Find
'have fun in here with stuff like .Text=... just type a . and it
'autocompletes



.execute replace:=wdreplaceall
end with
set marker=nothing
