Tracking Specific Words
Hi there,
I am trying to create a document that lists words that are used in student exercises and include the number of exercises that use a particular word. For example: The "Master" document will contain many words, such as Boat, Plane, Car, etc. The separate exercises may be: Document titled Voc1 will contain Boat and Plane Document titled Voc2 will contain Plane and Car I need the Master document to put a 1 beside Boat, a 2 beside Plane and a 1 beside Car. I know I can create a table and each time I do an exercise, just increment the number, but was wondering if there was a more automatic way. Cross referencing doesn't work and neither does index, as they indicate the page number rather than the number of files that contain a particular word. THANKS! -- Thanks! Dee |

Hi ?B?ZGVl?=,
I think the only way this can be accomplished is to use a macro (VBA code). If you want to pursue that route, ask in a Word VBA newsgroup.
