Cool Find embedded documents in Word 2016

Hi



I regularly receive large Word documents which also have other documents (Word, Excel PP etc) embedded within, which display as the appropriate doc icon.

I need to be able to not only open all these docs, but also be able to refer to them in my reports in context, therefore I need to be able to search the document for these attachments / embedded documents.

Is there any way I can do this from within word?

Thanks
GreenBoy

PS - I already know how to extract all attachments by changing the doc to a zip extension and then extract them.

PPS - I use Word 2016 but receive docs in all word formats from 2007 onward.

You can Find them by pressing Alt-F9 to expose the document's field code, then using:
Find = ^d EMBED
