Checking for non-printing characters 1

[tyhand]

Hi all,

How do I check to see if I have non-printing characters in a range? Particularly paragraph marks.

I'm iterating through a range using ActivDoc.Range.Paragraphs.Words (VBA on MS Word).

It turns out that every single paragraph mark (which are supposed to be invisible) is being read. As a result, my code doesn't function properly.

I'm attempting to check for the paragraph marks using IF statements on several of the paragraph properties, but nothing seems to work. Any help is appreciated. Thanx. Peace!

I think your looking for vbCr. Here's an example.

Set myrange = ActiveDocument.Range(Start:=0, End:=Selection.End)
For Each singleWord In myrange.Words
If singleWord = vbCr Then
MsgBox ("found one&quot
End If
Next singleWord

hey sfvb,

Didn't find a vbCr, but i found a vb Chr function that checks for ascii character. Incidentally, the help files mentions that chr(10) returns a line feed and chr(13) a paragraph mark. I tested the Chr(13) and it works fine.
Thanks for the help. Peace!
