How to extract email addresses from a word document

[RodneyB]

I have been looking at away to extract email addresses from a wor
documents. I came across a thread in this forum answered by Graha
Mayor
where comprehensive instructions are given to do this.

1. Use Ctrl+C to copy the search term below:

[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}\@[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}

2. Use Ctrl+V to paste it into the "Find what" box in the Find dialog.

3. Click More to display the rest of the dialog; check the boxes fo
"Use
wildcards" and "Highlight all items found."

4. Find All.

5. Click on the title bar of the document to return the focus to the
document.

6. Press Ctrl+C to copy all the highlighted email addresses.

7. Open a new document and Paste.

I use word 2010 and the instructions work perfectly, the email addresse
are highlighted.

From that point I am unable to select the email addresses copying the
and pasting them into a separate document. Can some one assist me fro
that point.

I think from point 5. above is where I have a challenge.

Many thanks

Rodne

Hi Rodney,

I have been looking at away to extract
email addresses from a word documents.

Are those addresses formatted as hyperlinks? Or is it just text?

[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}\@[a-zA-Z0-9\-_.]{1,}
"Use wildcards" and "Highlight all items found."

I use word 2010 and the instructions
work perfectly, the email addresses are
highlighted.

From that point I am unable to select the
email addresses copying them and pasting
them into a separate document.

You must *not* choose "Reading Highlight". Instead press the button "Find
In" to choose "Main Document".
