Default search email adresses in word document

A couple of additions:

1. Even if you have other hyperlinks in the document, the email addresses
may have the format { HYPERLINK "Mailto: " }. If so,
you can isolate those by searching for

^19 HYPERLINK "Mailto:

Note that you must have field codes displayed for this to work.

2. A quick way to convert text-only email addresses to hyperlinks is to run
AutoFormat over the document with "Internet and network paths with
hyperlinks" checked. This method does convert the addresses to the {
HYPERLINK "Mailto: format.

One option:

If you're using Word 2003 and the email addresses are formatted as
hyperlinks - and there are no other hyperlinks - go to EditFind. Do not
type anything into the "Find what:" field. Put a check in the "Highlight

all
items found in:" box (make sure it's set for Main Document), then click

the
MORE button. Open the Format list & choose Style, then select Hyperlink

from
the Style list. After clicking Find All, close the Find dialog box, copy

the
selected hyperlinks, then paste into a new blank doc. You should get a

list
of the email addresses when you paste.

If you're using Word 2007 the process is almost the same. The Find feature
is located on the HOME tab, and instead of a Find All button you click the
"Find In:" button & choose Main Document there. When you do, all

hyperlinks
in the doc will be selected. Also, once you close the box & copy/paste the
links they get pasted into the other doc as plain text rather than live
hyperlinks. If you want them as active links you can use the Format

Painter
in the original doc to copy the Hyperlink formatting, then select all the
links in the new doc to format them - or you can just select them in the

new
doc & apply the Hyperlink style.

How do I search for and select all the email addresses in a word

document?
I want to copy just the email addresses into a new word document.
