Hi there. I love this powerful program. Anyways, I have been able to to do so much so far with this software. However, I don't know how to do one thing. I have a text full of copy and there are subheaders within the copy that are orange. In Word...I can find the orange headers. The code to find the color orange headers is below:

 

// <<FIND COLOR ORANGE>>

Delay 1 Seconds

Text Type: <CONTROL>a

Text Type: <CONTROL>f

Delay 1 Seconds

Text Type: <ALT>of<TAB><TAB><TAB><ARROW DOWN><ARROW DOWN><ARROW DOWN><ARROW RIGHT><ENTER><TAB><EN...

Delay 1 Seconds

Text Type: <ALT>f

Delay 1 Seconds

Window Close: Current Window

Delay 1 Seconds

Text Type: <ARROW RIGHT>

 

Now how do I copy the text from the end of one orange header to the beginning of the next orange header? I assume it is some kind of loop...however, if you could guide me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

 

thank you!!

Rachel

Hello Rachel!

 

Maybe a simple solution would be to move the cursor to the line following the orange text and do the Find again only this time set the "Search" field to "Down" instead of "All".

Thank you for your help. However, how would I select the text in between the 2 orange headers. In find and replace box, when I select 'down'...it goes down to the next orange header, however, it doesn't select the text. Is there a way to do that?

 

 

Thanks! :huh:

HI,

iN wORD, sEND "f8" to "ExtendSelection", then find; text will be selected; then "copy", then "ESC to un-extend" [b4 Edit, said "Shift-F8 - wrong]

Best, Randall

EDIT -Correction; "Off afterwards is "ESC"
