Hey all,

I am looking to find text in word and replace it will a cell in excel. That i am able to do perfectly. However I would like to format the data into bullet points. Currently i am using a variable in word to perform the find/replace. That variable maps over as such:

chicago;denver;san francisco;new york;miami

What i'd like to do is once that data maps over to word, to then apply bullet point formatting after each semi-colon.

Here's the code i currently use to map the data:

Dim wrdApp As Word.Application
Dim wrdDoc As Word.Document
Set wrdApp = CreateObject("Word.Application")
wrdApp.Visible = True

Set wrdDocSelection = wrdApp.Selection

With wrdDocSelection.Find
.Text = "[my_variable]"
.MatchWholeWord = False
.Replacement.Text = ActiveWorkbook.Sheets("Sheet2").Range("D5")
.Execute , , , , , , , , , , wdReplaceAll

Something to note is that in the template that i am applying the find/replace to, the variable will be sitting with a bullet point already.
So the way it maps over currently, I have to then go in and manually just hit enter after each semi-colon to to add an additional bullet point.

Any ideas?
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
