Hi,
I use word 2010.
I write articles in magazines and I need research.

When I search for a phrase or word in a doc all the results are displayed in the left side of the doc.

My question is :
Is there any way I can savee all these results so that I can refer or paste them in my article later on.
Of course I can copy the text one by one. What I am looking is to save all the results in a txt format.
Is this possible?
If so how?
If not does any one know any reasonably costing software to buy.
Or any other wod processor does this?

Many many thanks for your help.
Swami

When a Find is executed, you can retrieve the text found, using a macro. What is it that you are trying to extract? The sentence containing the found text? The whole paragraph?

If you want a .txt file with your search results in, you could consider saving a .txt copy of the Word file and using a text editor? of course, if you're still adding content to your .doc file you'll need to keep the list up to date.
