Need macro help in Word 2004 for Mac

Nov 27, 2007 4:06AM PST

Until this recent version of Word, I was able to create a macro which would search for a certain format and build from there. Now when I search a format, it finds it, does the selected action, then never finds it again.

For example, my macro is to find any word which is flush left and bold, then more one space to the right, add (123) then go to the next line.

It will do this one time. When I edit the macro to repeat 100 times, it will only find the formatting the first time. After that it simply adds (123) after the first word in every line whether it is bold or not. Can anyone help?
