I'm looking for a way to index word. I want to index all words on all
pages. I looked up in help and it showed it was all manual so I wrote a VBA
program bit it itterates words and tells me word number but not page number
or paragraph number. In fact I could not find pages in the word object
model at all. any code samples or help appreciated. the solution can
either be word indexing or vba to do it. but the index should be automatic
for all words in the document not a manual setup thing. thanks

G'day "MrQuestions" <topdev@goodnets.com>,

See also www.editorium.com for its back issues, we discussed this a
few months ago. Here's a neat way:

Take your document. Replace all white space with para marks. Replace
all double para marks with single para marks until none left.

You now have all the words in your document on their own line. Write a
simple macro to test if para n = para N+1 and if so delete N+1
Save this document and use it as a concordance to AutoMark your
document up.
