Formatting Macro inside of Word

[Guest]

Hi everyone

I'm an intern at a PR company and part of my job is to collect and format hundreds of internet news clips, basically all the coverage for our relevant client. There is a standard formatting I have to apply: the whole document in Arial 12, with the headline, as the first line of the document, in bold. Is there some way that I could set up a one-button macro to go through a document I open up and apply this standard formatting

Any help would be much appreciated. You'd be saving me hours of work

Thanks

Joe

That's fairly straightforward
Create two paragraph styles here Style1 & Style2 - Style2 is 12 point
Arial - Style 1 is 12 point Arial Bold
Create a macro containing the following and add it to a toolbar button
(http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm)

Sub FormatWeb()
On Error GoTo Oops
Selection.PasteSpecial Link:=False, DataType:=wdPasteText, Placement:= _
wdInLine, DisplayAsIcon:=False
Selection.WholeStory
Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Style2")
Selection.HomeKey Unit:=wdStory
Selection.Style = ActiveDocument.Styles("Style1")
End
Oops:
Beep
End Sub

Copy your web info to the clipboard - open Word and hit the button.
