Align a line based on a value in the line

[gmaxey]

Alignment in Word is a paragraph (not line) attribute. So unless each line is a paragraph, there isn't much you can do. If each line is a paragraph, and as the text with "XX" is already left aligned then all you need is:

Sub ScratchMacro()
    ' A basic Word macro coded by Greg Maxey
    Dim oPar As Paragraph
    For Each oPar In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs
         If InStr(oPar.Range.Text, "YY") Then oPar.Alignment = wdAlignParagraphRight
    Next oPar
    lbl_Exit:
    Exit Sub
End Sub
