Hello,

I have an excel sheet with a list of texts that I have to locate in a folder with multiple Word documents.
What I want to obtain is, for every text, a report of the number of recurrences found for each documents and the page where the text is present.
I was able to find a code to count the occurrences by converting the documents in .txt, but then I lose the page reference.

Just as an example, imagine the Excel sheet containing a column with the texts to look for:

"Burt"
"Homer"
"Lisa"
"Maggie"
"Marge"

And a folder containing the following Word files:

"Belgium", "Italy", "France", "Germany", "Spain"

I would like the report (still excel) to look something like:

Text Word doc Occurrences Found on Pages

Burt Belgium 4 3,5,7,9
France 3 2,6,9

Homer Italy 1 12

And so on.
Is this possible?

Thanks

Round to nearest half hour?
Use =MROUND(A2,"0:30") to round to nearest half hour. Use =CEILING(A2,"0:30") to round to next half hour.
[TABLE="width: 500"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD]Text[/TD]
[TD]Word doc[/TD]
[TD]Occurrences[/TD]
[TD]Found on Page[/TD]

[TD]Burt[/TD]
[TD]Belgium[/TD]
[TD]4[/TD]
[TD]3,5,7,9[/TD]

[TD]France[/TD]
[TD]3[/TD]
[TD]2,6,9[/TD]

[TD]Homer[/TD]
[TD]Italy[/TD]
[TD]1[/TD]
[TD]12[/TD]

</tbody>[/TABLE]

Just realized that the post lost the formatting after submit, the example table should look like the one above.
