Getting data into Excel worksheet from Word Documents??

Hi

Can someone help me (again) with a bit of vba coding? In need to write a code that looks into the cells in column C (containing paths for doc files on my computer) opens the *.doc file, finds the first line beginning with u* and copies/selcts whatever it finds of numbers [0-9] and of the characters [-] and [.] ending at the next ^p (paragraph break) What I'm looking for is a ref-number alway following a keyword staring with a u* in one of the first lines of the documents (not always the same line though). The ref-number always takes the form "[0-9]*\-[0-9]*\-[0-9]*\.[0-9]*"

This selection should then be copied to the cell i column A on the same row.

No changes should be made to the doc files....

thanks.
