you can search for words within files from the Windows Explorer, Start Menu, Search, Files or Folders, &quot;A word or phrase within a file&quot;. Just specify the *.doc with the path is your search<br />
&nbsp;<br />
You can also search from Word, from an open word document, File menu, Open. &nbsp;over on the right of the Open Window, select Tools and then search. &nbsp;From here you can select which folders and what files.<br />
&nbsp;<br />
You didn't mention which version of Word or Windows but the concept will be the same.<br />

Hi<br />
I have a set of documents that I want to search of occurrence of some keywords given as a flat file &nbsp;<br />
I would like to get as an output all the pages in which keywords are matched <br />
<br />
For example , consider I have file1 file2 amd file3 as input and my flat file is looking like<br />
love<br />
money<br />
influence<br />
blabla<br />
<br />
then my output might be<br />
<br />
love : file1 page 84,file3 page 59<br />
money: file2 page 11,24<br />
influence: file3 page 55<br />
blabla: not found<br />
<br />
What is the best way to accomplish that ?<br />
Thanks

MS Word

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

Microsoft Development

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
