Thank you macropod...

I tried to use the code to find the EDV, ESV values these use "=" symbol.. i did that by adding fields to the table containing the exact strings as spelled in the word document.. but it still wouldn't work..

As for the data in the multiple paragraphs:
for example.. the technique field: then the statements (4 in the sample file) need to be inserted into 4 different fields in the table.

Again when I add "technique" to the table and then run the code, I only end up with the statement that follows the word technique.. the 4 other statements which occur on different lines get missed.. Any ideas on how to fix that?

THANK U MACROPOD... I am almost there with getting the code to work.. all thanks to u...
