Thanks Jezebel, that works really well, but I notice it destroys hyphens and
apostrophes too, is there a way to do this keeping the hyphens and
apostrophes? And I'm just curious so I know later, what does the ^013 mean?
Thanks!

Hi all,
Does anyone know if it's possible to make a list of all the unique words
in
a document without having to destroy all the punctuation and formatting
first? I know you can make a concordance index, but you have to know all
the
words first for that. I'm an amateur Java programmer, so if you know
Java,
you know that we can use StringTokenizers and HashSets to do this for
small
strings, but is there a way to do that on a larger scale for a Word file
(I
know it's a different programming language too, the Java was just an
example)
that's a few hundred pages long?
Thanks!
