Adding data in WORD
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! |

Adding data in WORD
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. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
