How to extract email addresses from a word document or htm web page?
Graham has given you a wildcard search term that will find all the email
addresses. Did you try the solution he gave you? 1. Use Ctrl+C to copy the search term below: [a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}\@[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,} 2. Use Ctrl+V to paste it into the "Find what" box in the Find dialog. 3. Click More to display the rest of the dialog; check the boxes for "Use wildcards" and "Highlight all items found." 4. Find All. 5. Click on the title bar of the document to return the focus to the document. 6. Press Ctrl+C to copy all the highlighted email addresses. 7. Open a new document and Paste. -- Suzanne S.

How to extract email addresses from a word document or htm web page?
That's perhaps because you haven't checked the box for "Use wildcards." I
don't know what it would be in Italian, but in my English version of Word, it is the third of five check boxes for "Search Options," following "Match case" and "Find whole words only" and preceding "Sounds like (English)" and "Find all word forms (English." If this is an Italian version, those last two may well not appear. -- Suzanne S.

How to extract email addresses from a word document or htm web page?
I found what the use wildcards option is and I checked it but when I
check it and then I enter for example the "@" than word says it cannot search for this. I can only search for "@" without the box checked. Suzanne S.

How to extract email addresses from a word document or htm web page?
The @ symbol has a special meaning in Wildcard searches, and you have to use
an escape character - here '\' whenever such a special character is used. The search string [a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}\@[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,} if pasted from here, works with English versions of Word. With other languages you may have to change the escape character '\' for whatever is appropriate for your language version. Check the help for Wildcard replacements in your copy of Word and see what that character is - then replace the three instances of '\' with that character. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org wrote: I found what the use wildcards option is and I checked it but when I check it and then I enter for example the "@" than word says it cannot search for this.

Hello! The solution [a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}\@[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,} worked great for me in a similar situation. I am faced with another similar challenge. I have a document that has a multitude of the following:
*lastname,firstname throughout the text (with real last and first names of clients.) I need to highlight and cut all the above from the document. what is the formula to search *firstname,lastname? Thanks! Quote:

Wow, Graham your help with the find problem really saved me hours of cut and pasting. Not sure if this is where I post this. I now have the list of emails in doc. Can I merge them into a new contact form for each one?
