Whether you choose to post a question here or you go to the discussion group (or both!) ... please post your question rather than emailing if possible, so that everyone can benefit from the information :)

Hi, Steph
Further to my previous comment about editing macros with VBA, here is my edited macro. The problem is, your examples all use Tables. I am finding specific, formatted text and inserting a hyperlink to a bookmark in the doc. I don't know how to define my text for the "Dim MyText As ____" in order to do the "For Each..." "Next..." command. Can you help?
Sub MattB()
'
' MattB Macro
' Bookmark to Matthew
'
With Selection.Find
.ClearFormatting
.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Style Body TextBT + Bold Char")
.Text = "Matt."
.Replacement.Text = ""
.Forward = True
.Wrap = wdFindAsk
.Format = True
.MatchCase = True
.Execute
ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks.Add Anchor:=Selection.Range, Address:="", _
SubAddress:="Matthew", ScreenTip:="", TextToDisplay:="Matt."
End With
End Sub
