I want macro to find 3rd word, change its format, go to next 3rd word change the format again until the end of the document.

Like this:

Is this a Microsoft Word related question by any chance? It doesn't help to leave out so much important information when posting a question (in a predominantly Access forum).

Like NeoPa, I feel as though this may be a Word question. In any event, I wrote comparable code that will also work in Word. In this case each 3rd Word is formatted in Upper Case:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. Dim strTestString As String
  2. Dim varSplit As Variant
  3. Dim intCounter As Integer
  4. Dim strBuild As String
  5.  
  6. strTestString = "She sells sea shells at the sea shore on a windy day"
  7.  
  8. varSplit = Split(strTestString, " ")
  9.  
  10. For intCounter = LBound(varSplit) To UBound(varSplit)
  11.   If (intCounter + 1) Mod 3 = 0 Then
  12.     strBuild = strBuild & " " & UCase(varSplit(intCounter))
  13.   Else
  14.     strBuild = strBuild & " " & varSplit(intCounter)
  15.   End If
  16. Next
  17.  
  18. Debug.Print Trim(strBuild)
OUTPUT:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. She sells SEA shells at THE sea shore ON a windy DAY

It's nevertheless an important question my friend, as Word has built-in objects and collections for things like words and paragraphs etc. It's not a good idea to reinvent the wheel. It introduces too many complications, and issues of compatibility etc. It's really down to the OP to make the question clear in the first place, or at least to respond intelligently to prompts.

To be clear, this is not a critique of your code in any way.

You are, of course, 100% correct. Just meant to be a Pointer in hopefully the right direction, since at least the Split() Function is supported in Word.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
