The following code works fine for finding exact duplicate paragraphs within a Word document. It ignores paragraphs shorter than min_chars length but I also want it to ignore paragraphs that are of a certain style.
So can someone help me with the syntax to add 'or if left(paragraph style, 3) <> "XXX" ' to the first If statement?
Many thanks!
ReDim Para_text(1 To Para_count) 'i.e. to last paragraph in document
For Para_num = 1 To Para_count
Para_text(Para_num) = ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(Para_num).range.Text
Next Para_num
For Para_A = 1 To Para_count
For Para_B = Para_A + 1 To (Para_count - 1)
'Ignore paragraphs < min_chars characters in length (entered on user form, default 100)
If Para_text(Para_A) Like "**" Or Para_text(Para_B) Like "**" Or Len(Para_text(Para_A)) < Form_min_chars_box Or Len(Para_text(Para_B)) < Form_min_chars_box Then
Else
If Para_text(Para_A) = Para_text(Para_B) Then
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(Para_A).range.Select
Page_A = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
ActiveDocument.Paragraphs(Para_B).range.Select
Page_B = Selection.Information(wdActiveEndPageNumber)
' Add a comment at this found location:
Call Repeat_Comment(Count_repeats, Para_A, Para_B, Page_A, Page_B)
End If
End If
Next Para_B
Next Para_A
Sub Repeat_Comment(Count_repeats As Integer, Para_A As Integer, Para_B As Integer, Page_A As Integer, Page_B As Integer)
'Adds a comment whenever a duplicate paragraph is found
Count_repeats = Count_repeats + 1
Selection.Paragraphs(1).range.Characters(1).Select
With ActiveDocument.Comments.Add(Selection.range, "This paragraph is also on page " & Page_A)
.Initial = "Repeat "
.Author = "Repeated"
