'Find a selection of text but not if part of other text
I am trying to find a selection of text in a Word document and then lock the content control.
I have one search text 'Our Ref:' and another 'Your Ref:'.
When the second sub searches for 'Our Ref:' it also highlights 'Your Ref:'.
Screenshot of search result for 'our ref:'
I tried to add .MatchPrefix which works within the advanced find in Word, but not in the macro.
Is there a way to either skip the first result or narrow the search?
Private Sub LockOurRef()
With Selection.find
.Text = "Our Ref:"
.MatchWholeWord = True
.Forward = True
.Execute
Selection.Range.ContentControls.Add (wdContentControlGroup)
Selection.ParentContentControl.LockContentControl = True
End With
End Sub
