Search if a string is present in doc, and to identify whether its in any table or not

Hello all,

This is my first post of my life :).

I am working on word macro where i need to find if a string is present in the word document or not and if present, then i need to know if its within a table or not.. It needs to highlight if its not in table.

As of now i am only able to find the string but for identifying the presence in table or not, even after using the below line of code it work sometimes but not all the time.

If cRange.Tables.Count > 0 then msgbox "Yes"

Many thanks in advance, if anyone could please help in this regards

Maybe something like

Code:

---

Sub Macro1()
Dim oRng As Range
Dim strText As String
    Set oRng = ActiveDocument.Range
    strText = InputBox("Enter the text to find")
    If Not strText = "" Then
        With oRng.Find
            Do While .Execute(FindText:=strText)
                If oRng.Information(wdWithInTable) = False Then
                    oRng.HighlightColorIndex = wdYellow
                    oRng.Collapse 0
                End If
            Loop
        End With
    End If
lbl_Exit:
    Set oRng = Nothing
    Exit Sub
End Sub

---

Try:

Code:

---

Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range
  With .Find
    .ClearFormatting
    .Replacement.ClearFormatting
    .Text = InputBox("What is the Text to Find")
    .Replacement.Text = ""
    .Forward = True
    .Wrap = wdFindStop
    .Format = False
    .MatchCase = False
    .MatchWholeWord = False
    .MatchWildcards = False
    .MatchSoundsLike = False
    .MatchAllWordForms = False
    .Execute
  End With
  Do While .Find.Found
    If .Information(wdWithInTable) = False Then .HighlightColorIndex = wdBrightGreen
    .Collapse wdCollapseEnd
    .Find.Execute
  Loop
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
