It seems there are differences in the language versions when it comes
to the special signs like ^p for paragraph. Yepp. Microsoft!!!

In German the sign for a paragraph is ^a (for "Absatz").
Yepp. Believe it. I didn't at first...

It works fine when I replace the ^13 with ^a in the Replacement.Text
argument.

So, now what to do? I have to write my macros for German and English
(at the least) Word versions.
Have I to put the Replacement.Text argument in a Select Case querying
the language of the Word version, and for every language I want to
support I have to state the language specific arguments? - That
couldn't be it. Could it?

If yes <shudder>, where would I find such a list of language dependant
special signs?

And at the risk of repeating myself: Microsoft!!!

If you have the luxury of using WSH also, you might want to try using the
language-independent regular expressions available in VBScript 5.5 on.  The
progid is VBScript.RegExp if you want to do some programming using late bound
controls...
