Parse Word document and change format of text using VBA?

[dav1dd]

Hi all;

I have several large Word files that I need to parse, find text string surrounded by quotes, change the format of the text, and then delete the quote marks. Does it matter if the text is in a table?

Example, I want to change the following sentence:
[tab]This should be "bolded and italic" text.
to look like this:
[tab]This should be bolded and italic text.

I'm new to VBA for Word, so I don't even know where or how to start.

Thanks for any and all replies!

The macro recorder is your friend.

Okay, so how do I use a macro to go through a whole text document to do what I need to do? The text within the quote marks is not always the same.
