Thank you I almost have it going your function looks like it extracts the data.

My hurdle to overcome is the function will not auto save the extracted source it creates a new Document1 that is hidden I can only see it being created because I am in the VBA screen, when I log-off the computer word will ask me if I want to save the Document1 it will allow me save the file and the file contains the extracted data as needed less the search strings. I have used the script on Word 2013, 2010 with same result when I debug (step-into) it will make many new Documents. I do not get any errors during the macro run do you have any ideas?
