Find issue with tracked changes

[heedaf]

Well this issue got me again. Finally I remembered that the issue is with having the searched word being changed with revision history. I'm doing a simple find on a rng:

Selection.range.find.execute FindText:=StrToFind

. The value I'm searching on in the range has revision history which prevents it from finding what I want. Is there a way to make the vba .find ignore the revision history and only search on what is shown in the simple markup view?

Depending on what you're trying to achieve, you might employ a custom UndoRecord, accepting or rejecting the revisions before doing your Find, then restoring the previous condition afterwards. Alternatively, you might rework your StrToFind expression so that it becomes a wildcard term that can accommodate revisions. You could even include the deleted revision text in your Find expression. You really haven't given us enough to work with.
