How do I collect information from multiple documents to create a t
I have 1000 Word documents (letters) and I want to create a Table with the
addresses from all 1000 documents. The documents are layed out the same, but each document has a different address and was individually typed. I want to create a table with all the addresses in it WITHOUT HAVING TO RETYPE them all. I want to "get" the address from each document and create a table so that I can use Mail Merge from now on. I am using Word 2003 but have access to 2002 and 2000. |

This is relatively easy if you used unique styles for your inside address or
a fixed place for the address. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm for coding to do a replace on all documents in a folder. This macro could be adapted to get the address from each of the documents and copy it into a separate Word document. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.

Charles, Thank you for your info. The addresses ARE in the same place in
each document. I am not very good with Macros, but I was able to get the Find ReplaceAll one to work on my test data. Can you help me with the adapting Part (to get the address from each of the documents and copy it into a separate Word document TABLE). I am continuing with the other links you supplied me, but would appreciate any additional help. Thank you.
