Hi, I'm trying to write a code in VBA to do a mass find/replace. Basically I want certain words to be replaced with numbers instead. However, I keep getting a syntax error and I can't see where. Here is the code:

Every quote mark in your fndList array is incorrect... you must use ASCII 34 quote marks, not the "stylized" quote marks you actually used. I think I have correctly assembled the actual code line you should use here...

Thank you, I realized the error after posting. I changed them all to the correct quotation mark however I still get the same error. So I shortened the code and only did 10-20 words at a time then it worked each time. So I believe I am getting the syntax error because the code is too long. Do you perhaps know how to overcome this error?

Good thought Rick.

If you still have the problem, try breaking up the lines using line continuation (eg: "BABY FOOD", _ ) the underscore character: to continue on the next line.
There IS a limit to the number of line continuation characters that you can use, so try to split each line in about half and you should be good.

I think you may have some other, hidden non-standard ASCII characters in your quoted text. When I copy/pasted the fixed code line I posted, back into the VB editor, there were strange characters in the text (usually that happens when there are non-standard ASCII characters in the text and the VB editor does not know how to display them). Did you create your list from inside a word processor? If so, I think you captured some of the formatting codes the word processor uses to display text inside of its own displays.

Okay so I fixed the errors, so each of the following quotes work fine on there own. But how can I combine them all into one script so that I don't have to run each one separately? The research I have done tells me that I need to add _ but this doesn't work for me / I can't get it working.
