Macro in Word: Switching between two documents

Word 2003: I want to build a macro using my key board keys. (Alt/z).

I want to loop my macro with hitting the "Alt/z" keys once.

Taking text from document 1 -- I will tell me macro to look for a particular
character in document 1 and placing the text into document 2.

I'm looking for the macro to go throught the entire document until it reach
the end of the document.

I'm looking for the key stokes to tell the macros to "loop", "continue",
"start over" or "repeat". I want the marco to go throught the doucment
without hit "Alt/z again. Maybe I'm using the wrong term.

Wrap your code in a

Do Until (Some Condition)

Loop

or a

While (Some Condition)

Loop

construct.

The actual condition depends on how your code is written, i.e. Are you using
a Range object or the Selection object?

Look up "Do" and "While" in the VBE help.
