I would like some advice on how to make a list of all the words in an article.

I am learning Spanish and would like to focus on the words from some newspapers from El Salvador. My plan is to copy the articles into Word and then make frequency distribution lists of the words in these articles.

I think that I know how to do this using VBA if the articles are copied into Excel, but I wonder if there might be techniques to make the word lists using Word and then go later make the frequency distribution lists.

Thanks much,

John

Hi John,

There have been numerous threads on this topic already. Do a board search for 'Concordance'.
