Something is missing and I can't figure it out. VBA editor highlights error at this line: Mid(MyString, Counter-1, 1).Paragraphs.Add
and I don't know how could I achieve what I need.

Basically I have to loop through every paragraph and examine the first character of it. For example there will be a pharagraph:

'the show must Go on

And I need to insert a new paragraph before "G", so:

'the show must
Go on

What am I missing?

VBA Code:
For Each para In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs

    If para.Range.Font.Size = 12 Then
 
                Txt = para.Range.Text

                If Left(Txt, 1) = "'" Then

                         For Counter = 1 To Len(Txt)
         

                               If Mid(MyString, Counter, 1) = UCase(Mid(MyString, Counter, 1)) Then

                               'SOMETHING IS WRONG HERE
                                Mid(MyString, Counter-1, 1).Paragraphs.Add

                                End If


                         Next

                End If
 
               
 
 
    End If

    Next

Can you AutoAverage in Excel?
There is a drop-down next to the AutoSum symbol. Open the drop-down to choose AVERAGE, COUNT, MAX, or MIN
Even if you were to get your code working, it is extremely inefficient. Try:
VBA Code:
Sub Demo()
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
With ActiveDocument.Range.Find
  .Font.Size = 12
  .Execute FindText:="([!^13A-Z])([A-Z])", ReplaceWith:="\1^p\2", MatchWildcards:=True, Format:=True, Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
End Sub
