Word - Add a paragraph mark at the end of every line?

Hi, All

How do I add a paragraph mark at the end of every line with VBA ?


Regards

David

What do you mean by "line"?  Is each "line" terminated by a manual line break?


You could try doing a Find/Replace.

Use ^l for the Find
Use ^p for the Replace.

Why do you need VBA?

Yes.

Is any suggestion?

sorry... updated informationas below:

It should be each line as a paragraph. That means each "line" terminated by
a paragraph break {ENTER} not {SHIFT+ENTER}.


Many Thanks

David

Saving the document as a .txt file can be used to do that.

Wow ~ Robbins, you are so cool.

Yes! It can do that, but does it possible to loop each line to check via VBA
code?


Many thanks

David

The following code will create a new document containing each line from the
document that was active when it is run as a separate paragraph in that
document

Dim source As Document, target As Document
Dim numlines As Long
Set source = ActiveDocument
Set target = Documents.Add
On Error GoTo LastLine
With source
.Activate
Selection.HomeKey wdStory
Do While .Bookmarks("\line").Range.End <> .Range.End
target.Range.InsertAfter .Bookmarks("\line").Range.Text & vbCr
.Bookmarks("\line").Range.Cut
Loop
End With
LastLine:
target.Range.InsertAfter source.Bookmarks("\line").Range.Text

Dear Robbins,

Thanks for your kindly answer.

a paragraph break {ENTER} not {SHIFT+ENTER}."

A Shift+Enter is ^l in the Find/replace dialog.
An Enter (paragraph mark) is ^p

What was wrong with my suggestion?  Do a find/replace changing Shift+enter to
Enter.

Find:  ^l
Replace ^p

And if you really want to use VBA...


Sub LineBreaksToParaMarks()
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
With Selection.Find
.Text = "^l"
.Replacement.Text = "^p"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
End With
End Sub

That only works if the lines were terminated by the use of Shift+Enter.

If that was not used (the text wrapped automatically), there will be no ^l
to replace.
