Finding, copying, and pasting all sentences with specific strings

S

I need to search all documents in a folder to find all sentences in each
one that contain four different strings of 8 characters in each string
(e.g. NAV?????, LAB?????). I need to copy those sentences and paste them
into another open document where I'm building a report. I can't figure out
how to search the Sentences Collection in a document for this result. Can
someone help me with coding for this task?

PS: I have a FileSearch routine that cycles through individual documents
and it works well. Stuck on how to loop through the document and find,
copy, and paste the sentences with the target strings.

When you do a find with no replace, it sets the host range to the
found part. Ranges have sentences.
