Summary: Searching and replacing paragraph indents in a macro does not work. Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word for Windows versions 1.00 and 1.10. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
More Information: The following macro should allow you to search for 2-inch left indented paragraphs and change them to 1-inch left indents. Although it finds any 2-inch left indented paragraphs and asks if you want to replace them, it fails to make the change. Sub MAIN EditSearchPara .LeftIndent = “2” EditReplacePara .LeftIndent = “1.5” EditReplace .Search = "“, .Replace =”“, .Format = 1 End Sub Similarly, replacing right or first line indents also fail. Replacing other paragraph formatting properties with the EditSearchPara command, works as described in the”Microsoft Word for Windows Technical Reference."
Reference(s): “Microsoft Word for Windows Technical Reference,” page 44, “EditReplacePara” section (brown cover).
