I have a friend who just graduated as a medical transcriptionist. She took this course on line. Here is how we might be able to help her. She gets her work via the internet and the company has a template that she has to follow when transcribing. That template comes with many asterisks (*), all have to be removed prior to uploading the final transcription. She can use Ctrl/F and delete as they appear. However can a macro be created to do this task? There is a great deal of info via google on macros. It's just a lot easier asking the forum than to start learning a new trick. Thank you very much, if someone can help we would be very appreciative. Thank you Harry

Yes a macro could be used. '''Copy Here Sub Macro1() Selection.Find.ClearFormatting Selection.Find.Replacement.ClearFormatting With Selection.Find .Text = "*" .Replacement.Text = "" .Forward = True .Wrap = wdFindContinue .Format = False .MatchCase = False .MatchWholeWord = False .MatchWildcards = False .MatchSoundsLike = False .MatchAllWordForms = False End With Selection.Find.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll End Sub '''End copy This will remove all asterix from the text.
