Browsing Word Through VB

[Mengbillar]

Hi all

I want to make an application that opens a word document, searches thruogh it for a special string, and then either tells it found something in line x or closes it and opens the next etc etc
Why dont I use windows' search options for it? because i want to search in a very special font that obviously cant be entered in the search box.
Is there any easy way to accomplish this?
Your help is really appreciated.

By setting a reference in VB to the Microsoft Word 9.0 Object Library (or whatever version you have), you can use automation to open Word documents and perform other operations on them.

Good luck! BlackburnKL
