Reading multiple documents' word count

[Cpudenusa]

Hello,

I have a folder with about 20 word documents and I would
like to find out how many words are in all of the documents
combined w/out referencing to each file explicty i.e 1.doc
2.doc rather something to the extent of *.doc .
I hope you know what it is that I'm trying to say
and output this to anywhere msgbox or a text file or write
it to the active document.

Thank You,
Den

you will need to use batch to do this, the skeleton code for which can
be found on the www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/index.html site.
