Hi Marco,
like this:
Public Sub test0001234()
Dim rDcm As Range
Set rDcm = ActiveDocument.Range
With rDcm.Find
.MatchWildcards = True
.Text = "year _{1,}"
.Replacement.Text = "year 2005"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
.Text = "month _{1,}"
.Replacement.Text = "month February"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
.Text = "day _{1,}"
.Replacement.Text = "day Monday"
.Execute Replace:=wdReplaceAll
' ... more
End With
End Sub
Note: in "{1,}" for "one or more underline characters"
the comma is the listseperator in, lets call it,
international or english versions of word.
In German, Dutch, Norwegian etc. versions it is
a semicolon ";".
