Occurrences of a given word?
Is there a method in Word 2000 of showing *the number of times* a given word
is found (under Find, or elsewhere)? |

Use replace to search for the word - replace it with ^& (the found word) and
the number of replacements is the number of occurrences. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org aalaan wrote: Is there a method in Word 2000 of showing *the number of times* a given word is found (under Find, or elsewhere)? |

In Word 2002 and above, it's even easier--no "replacement" required. There's
a check box in the Find dialog to "Highlight all items found." When you Find All, Word tells you how many were found (and they are selected). -- Suzanne S.

Yes. Thanks. But I have my faithful Word 2000, which lots of people here
have helped me to use much more effectively. I tried Graham's solution (after being certain TRK was off (or the edits look like a nonsense) and it worked, of course. Like someone else who posted on here, I am keeping all these valuable solutions in a ring-binder. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
