Edit/Replace with status bar column indicator

The Word status bar shows a "Col" indicator that shows where on a line the
cursor is. That is, if you add 50 spaces on a new line, the "Col" indicator
shows 50.

Is there any way to use that "Col" information with Edit/Replace? For
example, I would like to add a "@" at the 27th space on each line of my
document (or the 27th space of each line in an area of selected text.)

Thanks.

No, this isn't supported.

Probably, you could write a macro to accomplish something like this, though.

Thanks for the quick response. It saved me a lot of time searching.

Does anyone have a sample macro that might do something similar?

One of the word.vba newsgroups would be the best place to follow up if you're
looking for help creating a macro...
