I need to gather data from many different word documents and populate a spreadsheet with this information. Can anyone help write a macro that searches for specific terms in a word doc and can populate an excel sheet sheet automatically so I don't have to fish through each word doc individually? As an example, I attached a sample word doc and spreasheet (removed any propietary information). I want to get all the information listed under "List of Applications, Systems and other resources necessary to perform procedure:" and populate any entries into a specific cell in excel, i.e. E7. and repeat that for any document I need to search and place the results in it's corresponding cell ?
In the master spreadsheet I'm using, I have the documents linked by the filepath via hyperlink, as they are stored on a shared drive (G drive). Can the macro account for the link/location and search accordingly? Or does it need to have the word doc open?
I appreciate any/all help
