If in MS Word the specified text is not a valid building block name


What a disappointment! Suddenly Word refused to run this great Super Find macro! In the status bar I read a ‘cryptic’ error message, that “the specified text is not a valid building block name”!

Take care! This message has nothing to do with this or perhaps other macros you try to run pressing the F3 key. The problem is caused by something you wouldn’t expect! Although in the past you configured Word to run your macro when you press F3, somehow this changed and Word uses F3 for Auto Correct!

Therefore, to enjoy again Super Find, or your other macro, just go to Word Options and Customize your keyboard shortcuts, assigning F3 to any macro you’d like, and enjoy!


Being yourself an author or student you will perhaps appreciate especially this feature, that the very structure of the book will teach you how to work.

The book contains even chapters on how to prepare a document for professional publishers such as Amazon.

Reading Steven Adams' Writing a book or thesis in Microsoft Word you are surprised realizing it makes you want to work -- to think, write, use Word and be creative!
