Hello World,

I am back, was off sick and am full of energy and want to get a file finished.

I have got a table with two columns in one Word file. The first column contains abbreviations, the second one is empty.

In another Word file I have got a table with two columns, abbreviations and explanation.

I want VBA to find the first abbreviation in the abbreviation table in the first first file that has no explanation in the second column and go to the second file and find a match and transport the explanation into the first file. Then go on to the next abbreviation without an explanation and get the explanation and so on until all the abbreviations have explanations or not (in case the abbreviation is not mentioned in the second file)

Any ideas?
