stopping a "For Each" loop at EOF

**stopping a "For Each" loop at EOF -** 06-04-2007, 08:56 AM

I'm formatting data in a text file using a "For Each aPara" statement
along with a "Next aPara." How do I make the thing stop when it
reaches the end of the file, rather than starting again at the top of
the file and looping forever? Thanks, I'm new at this.

For each para in WHAT ??

What are you looping through? What is each item?

Type in EOF then press [F1]

This tells us nothing. aPara is not a VB 'thingy', so you're using something
either incorrectly, or that you obtained to wrap certain functionality.
Since we do not have whatever this is, your question provides no
information.

Sorry to be vague. My complete "for each" statement is

For Each aPara In ActiveDocument.Paragraphs

Which iterates a number of editing functions in each record in the
open text file (the records corresponding to paragraphs as far as Word
is concerned). The

Next aPara

statement at the end causes the looping; but I want the loop to stop
at the end of the file, not start over again at the top and do it all
again.

Thanks,
Orin

Is that what happens? I don't work with Word like that, but I often
use the For/Each methods. For/Each is designed to loop through the
entire contents 1 time, in every application I have seen it. If you find
it is going back to the top (without you telling it to) then that implementation
is far different than every other example I have seen. Double check your
code (step through it using F8) to be sure you don't accidentally tell it
to start over somewhere....
