Hi.
I am currently using a specialised database which i am using to create a report in word. Unforunately this database is doesnt hold all of the information in the correct format needed to create the report.
What i want is that for the word document to change certain words to different one automatically e.g Instead of ACCIDENT i need ACCID, and instead of INCIDENT i need INCID etc
I think i need a macro of some sort but am not sure. Any help or tips would be greatly appreciated.
 


have you tried macro recording doing a find & replace?

OR, make a dedicated AutoText file. Put your ACCIDENT = ACCID into their.
