Default Extract text strings

Hi,

In addition, you will need to click More, select the Use wildcards check
box, and type '*' in the Find what box.

Important: When you are finished using wildcards, clear the Use wildcards
check box and perform another search to disable wildcards.

If you have Word 2003 or above, you can use the "Find All" feature to do

To all:

I have looked throughout the forum and cannot find the solution to my
problem.

I have a document that has text strings within single quotes (e.g. 'this
is
sample text')

I need to pull all of these out and place them in another document (or
preferrably an excel spreadsheet).

If someone could point me to some VBA code, that would be much
appreciated.
