Text search app

[AD]

Hello,

I am working on a little project that will work as follows.

1. User enters search text in a form...clicks button
2. The App looks through all .doc files in the same path as the app.
3. For each instance of the text, I want to print out a line on an excel
sheet stating the path, file name, location of the text within the file.

I can manage most of this, but I am lost on a few issues.

Does the find method within Word return a position, or is there some other
way to get this. (the position of the found text within the file.)

Thanks
Ariel

The Find method of a Range redefines the Range to the found text. You can
then interrogate that (redefined) Range for any information you want
(Range.Start, etc.)

Thanks a lot, I'll work with that.
