Macro to search for hyperlinks or email anc copy

J

Justin

Hello,
I need a macro to search for email addresses in a word document, then copy
them into another word file with comma and space after each one.
This is because I have a large file with email adresses throughout the file.
I then want to create a mailing list using these addresses.

Any ideas?
