Let me set a scene, single folder large number of randomly named files,

Lets imagine names, Andrew, Brian, Robert, Paul

Need to open files in (some kind) of order just so every file eventauly gets opened.

lets imagine in the code selects Andrew.doc it opens it in word, it now begins a search for keywords found in a text file called 'keywords' heres some Age, colour, fish.

It finds fish first. Each keyword is associated with a list of phrases eg. #This fish is smelly,
#This is a big fish
#This is an ugly fish,

in a dropdown box these options can be selected from. Enter is pressed and the comment inserted.

next keyword is found..... searching... found Age - dropdown box again this time 13 is selected from the list of options in 'keywords.txt' for the word Age.

User presses - WIN N and the next file in the specified directory is opened and used.





I know its a big request and its not even a request really more a request for pointers and anyone suggest scripts I might be able to perfor 'a cut and shut' job to stick bits together and get it to work.... All comments welcome.


Thankyou

Andrew

are you forced to do word files?

txt files are easier to search

Use Loop get the file-names/paths, save those paths in a variable, next you'd open the files from the variable you saved one by one with the Run command or COM or control-o in Word. Then do a control-f to call up the find window, and get the found and highlighted text with COM, compare it against the keywords you saved in a ini/tab-delimited file, again with Loop, then show a Gui with the options you found, and insert the selected one with Send or the Clipboard.

MS Office Automation Functions (via COM) [thanks Sean]

There might be a way to do the search via COM too, and not the find-dialog, so you could create an AHK Gui for that.
