I just reviewed the example in the Help for ReplaceFormat. Then I
went to the Help for Replace method as applied to a Range object.
From that description, I would never have guessed that providing empty
strings for the What and Replacement "variants" would yield the effect
implied by the ReplaceFormat example. For example, I thought that the
ReplaceFormat would only affect replacement text.
Are there more comprehensive help pages (possibly on the web) on these
classes that elaborate on the terse descriptions in the Help? As a
newbie to VBA, and from experience in other environments, I intend to
rely quite a bit on accurate, comprehensive, and well organized
documentation to figure out how to code. VBA's help seems well
organized, but actual descriptive text seems quite terse and
incomplete. Is there some kind of definitive standard that one could
resort to in order to suss out the subtleties of meaning (which often
aren't very subtle in their coding implications)?
Thanks.
