Charlie''s Word VBA questions - 18 Jul 2005 18:21 GMT

When you do a Find/Replace from the menu, Word tells the number of replaced
occurrences. In a macro, how can I determine the number of replaced strings?
Find.Replace does not seem to have any way to return the actual count of
replacements. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help,
Charlie

Thank you very much, Jonathan. Simple is beautiful. I am finding and
replacing a symbol only, but I think that shouldn't make a difference.
