Extract nouns, verbs, adjectives

[prefect]

Hi,

I am working with Word files (MS Office 2010) and would like a macro to do the following:
Go through all files in the folder, and create a separate document into which the macro would extract: 1) name of the file; 2)nouns, verbs, adjectives from the file(no duplicates from the same file).

So essentially the new file would contain filenames & nouns, verbs and adjectives from each file in the folder.

I have a macro that goes through all files in the folder and highlights certain keywords and extracts them into a separate file, but now I need to extract all nouns/verbs/adjectives, so that macro does not work.

Would a macro like this be possible? If not, is there a different way to achieve this?

Thanks,
Prefect

Hi, prefect
I don’t think macro can do that.
But if you have a list of words that categorized as nouns, verbs and adjectives then it is possible.
For example you can get the list from https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:English_lemmas. But since the list must be huge then using excel is better than word macro.
The steps:


Extract all the words from the document, and delete all duplicate words.
In excel you can use vlookup to determine which extracted words exist in the list.

Do you see the difficulty in what you are after? It can't be done with a macro.
