VBA for MS Word

[davidku]

Hi,

I am trying to find the first and the last row in a PAGE of the entire document. Having been exploring the Object Browser and tested some codes. However, I am not able to get it right.

Is there a function to find the first / last row in a page OR I need to write my own ?

Hope experts here can shed some lights. Thanks.

Did you check the 'use wildacrds' option?

Yeah, I refer to the guide here and just hit Ctrl F

Inputted <[0-9]{1,4}

You can look at the screen shot here.

I suspect there's is a special character at the end of the page number.

Without placing too fine a point on it:
1. Your find expression is not what I posted.
2. There is no evidence from your pic that you're doing anything more than a Find (Ctrl-F is for Find, Ctrl-H is for Find&Replace) - there is no 'Replace' expression visible; and
3. There is no evidence from your pic that you've set the 'use wildcards' option.

You can't realistically expect to get a meaningful result if you ignore the advice you've been given.

Macropod,

Thanks for pointing out. Your Find/Replace works !

I just clicked on the "Use Wildcards". Silly me, I coded the expression and found nothing. Not sure what's wrong. It is just the option settings. No wonder, I input all the regular expression and it just don't work.

Sorry, I am just a newbie in MS Word and I appreciate your feedback a lot.
I learn a valuable lesson here. Thanks again.

Let me add another post here so that it can be useful to others as well ..

Here are the interpretation for ^13 and ^p.

I started the wrong direction, but now, I'll grab a copy of Microsoft Words to explore in details. I don't want to remove the line number one by one for over 300 pages.
