The purpose of this Microsoft Word Tips & Microsoft Word Help page will show you how you can overcome the 255 character limit is Word built-in Find and Replace dialog 'Find what:' and 'Replace with:' text fields.

The 255 character replace string limit is easily overcome by copying the replace string text to the clipboard and using the character code '^c' in the 'Replace with:' window of the dialog box or as the .Replacement.Text value in you VBA procedure code.

Another handy method for defining any replacement text string and even a graphic is to use AutoText. Word MVP Graham Mayor and I worked out the VBA which Graham has posted on his web site here: Replace w/AutoText. Or use the replace with AutoText option in VBA Find & Replace.

Unfortunately the character code ^c doesn't work in the 'Find what' window. Even find strings constructed using wildcards are limited to 255 characters as shown below.

If you try to set a find or replace strings that are > 255 characters in length in VBA, a run-time error is generated.

I worked with Dave Lett and Helmut Weber, both former contributors the old Word VBA newsgroup, to develop a macro that would perform a find and replace routine where the text you are looking for exceeds 255 characters.

• The process involves defining the .Find.Text string as the first 250 characters of your text.
• If this segment is found, then the selection is extended to include the entire length of your specified text and then a comparison is made of the find text string and extended selection.
• If a match occurs, the selection.text is replaced with the specified replacement text.

In this solution, both the find and replace strings are defined in a separate document. Here is the macro code:

See: Installing Macros for instructions on how to set up and use the macros provided in this Microsoft Word Help & Microsoft Word Tips page.

That's it! I hope you have found this tips page useful and informative.

# Regular Expressions

Regular Expressions find complex patterns in text.To take full advantageof the search and replace facilities in Sublime Text,you should at least learnthe basics of regular expressions.In this guidewe won't explain how to use regular expressions.

The term regular expressionis usually shortened to regexp or regex.

This is how a regex might look:

To use regular expressions in Sublime Text,you first need to activate them inthe various search panels.Otherwise, search terms will be interpreted literally.

Sublime Text uses thePerl Compatible Regular Expressions (PCRE) enginefrom the Boost library.
