how do I cross reference text between two documents
Hello
New to the groups, have searched but can't find anything that already answers this... I have two word documents. doc 1 is a list of about 25 names. Our VIP Client List, for example doc 2 is a schedule of meetings (a report formatted into a word doc by a 3rd party application) I'd like to take doc 2 and be able to find any instances of names that appear on doc 1. Both docs will have correct spelling as the 3rd party app uses drop-down lists to enter these names, reducing the risk of a mis-typed entry. I'm pretty sure Excel can do this better, but the 3rd party app won't output to a useful Excel document... Any help would be much appreciated. |

how do I cross reference text between two documents
Hi ?B?bWFyY3R5c29u?=,
I have two word documents. doc 1 is a list of about 25 names. Our VIP Client List, for example doc 2 is a schedule of meetings (a report formatted into a word doc by a 3rd party application) I'd like to take doc 2 and be able to find any instances of names that appear on doc 1. Both docs will have correct spelling as the 3rd party app uses drop-down lists to enter these names, reducing the risk of a mis-typed entry. Can't be done without using a macro. Macro questions are better asked in a word.programming newsgroup (better response time). You don't mention, though, what should happen once you can display a list of names (on a toolbar button, for example). You should also specify the version of Word involved.
