@Generoso, thank you for the macro snippet. Really appreciate it :) I never used macro until now. I replaced .Text = "13" with .Text = "perl" and ran the modified macro on the test.doc file and I got the desired information. Cool! But the problem I posted is only a smaller part of a larger problem. For example, in the real task, it's not just one single word (it's a list of words) and I also need to remove duplicate page numbers (e.g. if 'perl' occurs more than once in one page, it will count as just once). But I guess the macro probably can also do that too although the coding might involve a different complexity level compared with a Perl solution. I'll probably need to dig deeper.
Anyway it's good to know the macro solution. Thank you again

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
