Vista - Getting Word Paragraph Number

Hi All,

I have a written a vbscript which will search for some text in a word
document and if a match is found then, that paragraph will be written to
another word file or text file. I was able to acheive this but the problem is
I dont know how to get the paragraph number where the match is found.

Can anyone tell me how to get the current paragraph number.

Thanks in advance.

I have never done this, but here is a suggestion
(call it a "brute force" approach).

Try using the "Paragraphs Object". That is a property
of your (word) document. It will return a "collection"
of paragraphs in the document.

Then "restructure" your search. Use the For...Next
approach to go through the document paragraph-by-paragraph,
and select each paragraph. Then search for your key phrase
WITHIN THE SELECTION (i.e., just the current paragraph, not
in the entire document). When you find a hit, then you know
the paragraph number -- it would be the index of the
paragraph you are working on.

cheers, jw
