I am using AutoMac III with Microsoft Word V4. I am trying to create an automatic utility which searches for paragraphes that have a predetermined marker, and then apply a particular style to those paragraphs. I would like this to be automatic. What I've done is set up one macro which finds the marker and then calls a second macro. The second macro sets the style, finds the next occurence of the marker, and calls itself. Unfortunately, this sets up an infinite loop which cannot be terminated. I put a popup with a cancel button in the second macro, but this requires hitting return for every iteration. The only other way I can think of doing this is to place some large number of iterations in the second macro with a cancel dialog at the end. This is on the inelegant and tedious style. Anybody out there with experience programming AutoMac III, that can suggest a more elegant solution?
