Macro for Word

- Is there any way to do a macro in Word that would find all the words between quotation marks and either underline and/or make them bold?

Thanks!

Here is some code I threw together quickly. It underlines words contained within quotation marks. The code could use a little work, though, so go ahead and make improvements as you see fit!

Code:

Sub Underline()
    Dim idx As Long
    Do While idx < ActiveDocument.Words.Count
        idx = idx + 1
        Select Case Trim(ActiveDocument.Words(idx))
            Case Chr(147), Chr(148), Chr(34)
                If Not ((idx + 2) > ActiveDocument.Words.Count) Then
                    Select Case Trim(ActiveDocument.Words(idx + 2))
                        Case Chr(147), Chr(148), Chr(34)
                            ActiveDocument.Words(idx + 1).Underline = wdUnderlineSingle
                            idx = idx + 1
                    End Select
                End If
        End Select
    Loop
End Sub
