word count

[sqlnerd]

Hi,

I know to programmatically search for a specific word in a MS Word document. Can anybody tell me how i can find the total count of a specific word.

Thanx in advance

One quick way is to do Edit Replace and enter the word in both the "Find what" and the "Replace with" fields and click the "Replace All" button.

This will display a message saying "Word has completed its search of the document and has made n replacements." - where n will be the number of occurences of the required word.

It's best to perform an undo after this action, so that any unwanted changes are disregarded.

Glenn.

Thanx for your reply Glenn... Even some of my friends suggested me the same idea as yours. Finally, I found the way out to do it through a macro.
