See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Macros...sTextInDoc.htm for a
macro to help with this. Also read
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if needed.
If there are specific phrases you always search for -- is it really
literally "CURRENT STATUS#" followed by a digit, or is that just a
placeholder? -- the macro could be modified to find exactly those
phrases without needing input from you.

Hi There. I have a report that I currently create in word and would prefer
to continue using word to create it. However, I would like to be able to add
the number of times a certain phrase occurs throughout the report. By way of
example
Heading subject
Date - information
Date - Information information information information information
information information information
Date - Information infomration
CURRENT STATUS #1
Heading subject
Date - information
Date - Information information information information information
information information information
Date - Information infomration
CURRENT STATUS #2
I would like to add the number of times I use current status #1, Current
Status #2, etc.
Currently, I use Find ALL, add it up and input it into an excell
spreadsheet. It seems to me there must be an easier way to automatically do
this. Usng Excel to create the report is out, as my office mate doesn't know
how to use it.
Any info would be helpful!
Thanks!
