You are a genius!!! This just saved me an indefinite ammount of time! I had access to a hord of technical documents (word) where they were labeled with just a document number. Using this I automated a script which pulled all of the abstracts out of thousands of files so I could suscinctly query for information. I owe you one!!!!
