Hello,

Does anyone have a pre-written code that allows you to change multiple
abriviations into words.. Similar to the "Find and Replace" Function
but on a grand scale for Entering many abbriviations and words?

Thank you for your time,

Chase

Any code would just run the replace all multiple times. So you can turn on
the macro recorder to get the basic code and set up your loop.

Suggestion: Set up a list (on a new sheet, I will call it "Abbreviations" -
you can delete it later if desired) with two columns; abbreviations in A,
actual text you want in B; then:

Public Sub AbbrevToText(SearchSheet As Worksheet)
Dim ListRange As Range, Abbreviation As Range
Set ListRange = Sheets("Abbreviations").Range("A1").CurrentRegion
For Each Abbreviation In Intersect(ListRange,
Sheets("Abbreviations").Range("A:A").Cells)
SearchSheet.UsedRange.Replace Abbreviation.Value,
Abbreviation.Range("B1").Value
Next Abbreviation
End Sub

Just run the Sub for any worksheet you want to do the "mass replace" on,
e.g. AbbrevToText(ActiveSheet)

You might want to add some additional columns to address some additional
parameters of the Find method, e.g., the LookAt, SearchOrder, and MatchCase.

If i was familiar with VB and Excel i could easily put your ideas to
use, but i really dont know very much about how to do these things...
So if anyone is nice enough to put a "plug n play" formula in this post
for me that would be great...

Thanks Again for everyones help~

Chase

how would you use this code within a macro to replace old text with new text?
