Record a macro doing what you want and you'll get most of the code you need.

What do you need to do? You're posing the problem along with your assumption what the solution should be. Tell us what you need to do.

Thank you.

i am having 10000 characters & approx 8 pages & it is taking 8-10 min for conversion, i want
to reduce the timing.

Yes, but "replace 20 words"...do you need to search for something particular and then replace all twenty words? Is it a sentence you need to replace? OR is it a list of 20 words you're trying to replace with different 20 words?

I've seen books that replaced words faster then what you're doing. I did gene comparison on 4 GB files that took less then 5 minutes. You're doing something suboptimal.

It is list of 20 words with different 20 words. i have already tried list<string> & Dictionary method, i am using find & replace method, but it is finding & replacing each word one by one.

Maybe you should show the code you have done so far.

Please use Improve queestion and post the code in the original question, not here in comments.

I have use basic find.text,find.replacement.text, find.execute(replace:word.wdreplace.wdreplacall) function for finding & replacing word

So you have some code you want to improve?
And you want help to improve this code. Right?
If you don't show the code you have so far that you want to be improved, how do you think anyone can help you?

And your comment is like "I used a recipe, with eggs, sugar and flour, to bake a cake but it didn't work."
