I have had a request to take 7 years (4 meetings per year)
of meeting minutes and find a way to query on a person's
name or the topic and develop a report of all that was
said with a corresponding date. I don't think we want to
reload the informaiton into an Access database unless we
have to Just wondering if there is a way to do searches
in Word? Or what would have to be done to a document to
be able to do this, or whether you can link the documents
for a search? Or is there a special package that might do
this?

Thanks.
 
Hi Don,

You could use a modification of the method given in the article "How to Find
& ReplaceAll on a Batch of Documents in the Same Folder" at:

http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm

Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the
benefit of others who may be interested. Unsolicited questions forwarded
directly to me will only be answered on a paid consulting basis.

Hope this helps
