multiple selection of interrogative sentences in word document

[anielo]

Hi there;
I need a code which searches for multiple question form sentences in a word document and selects (not highlights) all of them at once!
I am a newbie and I would be so grateful for any help
thanks

Can't be done. The Word VBA object model does not recognized discontinuous selections and can't make them either.

Dear Greg;

Anielo,

I hope that you get a notification that I've posted again. Actually, while perhaps bit crude, there may be a way to do this. If you apply a unique style to the text you want selected then this might work. Here the unique style is body text:


Sub SelectDiscontinuousRanges()
Dim oPar As Paragraph
Dim oEd As Editor
With ActiveDocument
For Each oPar In .Paragraphs
If oPar.Range.Style = "Body Text" Then
Set oEd = oPar.Range.Editors.Add(wdEditorEveryone)
End If
Next
.SelectAllEditableRanges (wdEditorEveryone)
.DeleteAllEditableRanges (wdEditorEveryone)
End With
lbl_Exit:
Exit Sub
End Sub
