I want to create a macro that will find and replace the semicolon (;) with a line break in a MS Outlook email. I've tried entering the keystrokes in an automation and also tried recording a macro (multiple times)...neither has worked.
Can anyone give me feedback on what I'm doing wrong?
Here's the steps:
I have an email open in word with text that has semicolons in it. I highlight the text and then want the macro to do these steps:
- CTRL+H
;
^p
ALT+A
ALT+N
ESCAPE
Thank you for any direction you can provide,
Julie

You can do this instead: Set a shortcut (Type: Command):
Code: Select all
Clipboard:=""
Send, ^c
ClipWait
string:=clipboard
stringreplace, string, string, ;, `n, all
SendInput, % string
Select the text and press the shortcut.
