Muddling through the examples in this forum and elsewhere has ceased building my strength or character, and I am now�besides a scripting newbie�frustrated. In an active document containing only one story, I need a VB script to: (1) find every instance of italic text and replace them with a character style. (2) find every instance of a paragraph having a paragraph style named �spit� and replace it with a paragraph style named �wine.� (3) Do variations on (2) for other named paragraph styles up to 7 times. That is, I�ve placed a Word document that has specific Word-defined paragraph styles assigned and need to change these to the equivalent ID-defined paragraph styles. In two of those Word paragraph styles, there may be italicized words, to which I want to assign a formal character style. It seems like such a simple thing, but every syntax variation I try fails. I seem to confound the find/change and the ParagraphStyles/ParaStyle stuff. Thanks much,
