SYMPTOMS
When you record a macro to find text formatted with a specific language, the LanguageID property is not recorded.



WORKAROUND
Microsoft provides programming examples for illustration only, without warranty either expressed or implied. This includes, but is not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose. This article assumes that you are familiar with the programming language that is being demonstrated and with the tools that are used to create and to debug procedures. Microsoft support engineers can help explain the functionality of a particular procedure, but they will not modify these examples to provide added functionality or construct procedures to meet your specific requirements. After you record the macro, stop the macro recorder and edit the macro to include the LanguageID property.

The following sample macro was recorded to find the word "test." In this example, the LanguageID property has been added and the LanguageID constant has been set to English (United States). Sub FindLanguageProofing Selection.Find.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "test" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = True .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False 'Change the constant, wdEnglishUS, to        'the language constant you want to         'include as part of a search criteria. .LanguageID = wdEnglishUS  '<---Add this line. End With Selection.Find.Execute End Sub For more information about Find Object, from the Visual Basic Editor, click the Office Assistant, type Find Object, click Search, and then click to view "Find Object."
