Search Macro

Hey,

I'm trying to create a macro in word that finds the word Engineer and
when it does copy the first 7 charators of that line and paste it
either to another word document or and excel spreadsheet. I have done
VB for excel macro's but this is confusing me. Any help would be
appreciated.

Thanks

Word VBA is more complex than Excel VBA, but if you already know Excel VBA,
then you should be able to learn Word VBA easily from a Word VBA book such
as Steve Roman's Writing Word Macros. There's a chapter on using the Find
object.
