How to extract email addresses from a word document

[RodneyB]

I have been looking at away to extract email addresses from a word
documents. I came across a thread in this forum answered by Graham
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 for
"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 addresses
are highlighted.

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

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

Many thanks

Rodney

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

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

What if the email address is at the end of a sentence and there is a period at the end of the email address? Is there a way to get rid of all these periods?

Hi Rodney, What if you only have Word 2007? does it still work then because I am trying and I cant seem to make it work

Hello

I just tested this suggestion and have to say that the results for email addresses was poor. The problem is that some email addresses may have hyphens, dots between names etc and the software missed loads of email addresses.
What I normally use is Text Crawler but you have to know regular expressions to capture what you want

This is the definitive tip that works with all types of email addresses... i.e. Those with .'s or -'s... in the addresses. Thanks clever stranger!

Thank you! This works better than the top Google results that come up - meaning it actually works right - handles periods and hyphens. Kudos!
