Extract all lines that contain a specific string?

Question

I have a large document, 56 pages. I need to extract a number of lines from this document. I want to extract every line that contains a specific string into a different document, or at least, put the list of lines at the end of my document.

Is this possible with the Word 365 installed onto my computer?

Have you tried using Copilot 365? It should be easy enough to ask her to extract the data.

You can use the Find function, or you can extract all rows containing specific strings with a VBA script.

I didn't think of that... but I'm not a big fan of AI.

Thanks... I'm trying to get a proper VBA script to do the job. I'm getting close to what I need.
