Counting Records on Word Tables for Many Files

[williemg]

I'm keeping a very large database, over 50,000 records using Microsof
Word, using different WORD files. My problem is, I want to (develop wa
of) count all records from all files on this database folder. In simpl
form, suppose I have a folder called DATA, in which there are file
called A1, A2, A3. A4... and every file has table containing 5 columns
with varying number of rows. Now I want to count the records from al
these files, without opening each file and counting rows, for i hav
over 500 files, how do i do that

You will not be able to do this without opening each file and getting the
number of rows from the table.

You can however use a macro to do it.

To get started, see the article “Find & ReplaceAll on a batch of documents
in the same folder” at:
