Count colored words
Hello everyone
I have this problem I can't solve.. hope someone can help me out: I have a document which contains lots of pages with different colored words: blue, green and black. I need to count the amount of words with each color. I did a for-next all along the words collection but it takes too much time. I was wondering if there is another way of doing this, maybe highlighting colored words and moving them to another document, don't know. Thanks in advance, Damian |

Count colored words
Provided the color is font color, you can do it.
1. Using the Find dialog, click on More to display the full dialog, then click Format | Font and select the appropriate font color. 2. Leave the "Find what" box empty. Check the box for "Highlight all items shown." 3. Click Find All. Word will tell you how many bits it's found, which may suffice if the words are isolated, but if some of them are together in phrases, click back in the document (click on the title bar to give the document focus without deselecting the found words), Copy, and Paste into a new document. Then use Tools | Word Count to get the count. 4. Repeat for each additional color. -- Suzanne S.
