I am trying to find a way to lookup and replace contents within an MS Word Doc based on certain content within the same document. I have system generated Word Documents that are one page each in length, but the number of pages can vary from one to 100 (or more). Each document is formatted exactly the same. One phrase with each page of the document (such as "Type of Charge" may or may not vary from one page to the next. I need to be able to insert the actual amount of the charge on each page based on the type of charge reflected on that given page.
I have been trying to use the bookmark approach and I am fairly new to using VBA in MS Word. I was taking the approach of setting bookmark ranges that would be used to search for the phrase, and then setting a bookmark that would indicate where to insert the value. Here is what I have so far:
Sub bmAmtDue() ' ' bmAmtDue ' ' Dim rng As Range Dim iBookmarkSuffix As Integer Dim strBookMarkPrefix
strBookMarkPrefix = "BM"
Set rng = ActiveDocument.Range
With rng.Find
.Text = "Please see fee chart, with additional requirements, on reverse side"
Do While .Execute
rng.Text = "" 'clear the "XXX" (optional)
iBookmarkSuffix = iBookmarkSuffix + 1
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add strBookMarkPrefix & iBookmarkSuffix, rng
Loop
End With
End Sub
Sub bmStartPermitType() ' ' bmStartPermitType ' ' Dim rng2 As Range Dim iBookmarkSuffix As Integer Dim strBookMarkPrefix
strBookMarkPrefix = "BMStartPermitType"
Set rng = ActiveDocument.Range
With rng.Find
.Text = "Type:"
Do While .Execute
iBookmarkSuffix = iBookmarkSuffix + 1
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add strBookMarkPrefix & iBookmarkSuffix, rng
Loop
End With
End Sub
Sub bmEndPermitType() ' ' bmEndPermitType ' ' Dim rng2 As Range Dim iBookmarkSuffix As Integer Dim strBookMarkPrefix
strBookMarkPrefix = "BMEndPermitType"
Set rng = ActiveDocument.Range
With rng.Find
.Text = "Amount due:"
Do While .Execute
iBookmarkSuffix = iBookmarkSuffix + 1
ActiveDocument.Bookmarks.Add strBookMarkPrefix & iBookmarkSuffix, rng
Loop
End With
End Sub
I would appreciate any help and I don't mind taking a different approach if there is an easy one. I am kind of stuck with using the MS Word Docs. We do this manually every month and it is sometimes 100s of documents.
Thank You
