Search multiple document and get list of results

[Guest]

Hi,

I have 500+ reports in which I know some information with keywords is present.

I want to make a list of those keyword AND the text of the complete
line/paragraph in which it is mentioned.

Is there a possibility to search / create this in Word?
Or in an other program?

Best regards,

Gijs Breedveld

Gijs:

If it was just for my own use, I'd create PDFs of all the docs (in batches)
and use Acrobat to do a find in the folder holding the PDFs.

I don't know of any simple way to create a document that shows the keywords
in their context. I suspect you might research creating an overall index
using RD fileds (to avoid having to combine the documents) and a concordance
document (to avoid having to insert index entries manually in all the
documents).
