I posted this in the appropriate non-Excel section of the forum but it seems no one looks there, as I typically would get an immediate response. So, please forgive me for posting it here. I know there is someone over here that has knowledge in both Excel & Word macros that can help.
I would like a simple macro that inserts a superscript sequential number at the beginning of each new sentence of an established body of text (ignoring blank lines obviously). The text size for the number should be 6-8 point so as not to mess up the formatting of the established text (I don't want the inserted number to push the text at the end to the next line).
I realize MSWord has a line numbering feature but it is not useful for what I'm trying to do because it doesn't copy & paste the line numbers to other documents & it is line numbers as opposed to sentence numbers.
Example:
1The dog ran after the cat and the cat jumped through the window to escape. 2The dog barked furiously but could not follow the cat through the small window. 3 The cat was happy to be safe.
Obviously the macro would have to look at characters & consider the end of a sentence to be a period, a colon, a semi-colon, a question mark, & an exclamation mark & the new number would be inserted right before the next character.
Thanks
