"Find All and List" a la Acrobat

[barryhsmith]

Looking to find or create a macro which will:
- find all instances of a text string (like Word)
- BUT ADDITIONALLY, list all occurences within their containing
paragraph (or +/-2 lines) in separate window or pane
- And have those listing link back to the location in the Word
document

This is somewhat like the way Acrobat does "find"

[This is for very long, large Word documents.]

Download finder.zip from http://jay-freedman.info/ and unzip it into
Word's Startup folder (by default, %appdata%\Microsoft\Word\Startup).

You can make a toolbar button or keyboard shortcut to the Finder macro
by following the directions in
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Customization/AsgnCmdOrMacroToHotkey.htm
or
