    Hi Ahkip,

    I found the answer to my prob (I added a question here yesterday), and maybe I can help you out. Its really quite easy (I think) just backup your database and save it to your desktop, unzip it and open with notepad. Select all, copy ...and then paste in word and then find replace all word instances (which you want with something else) ...word will count and show you how many instances there are...I dont think notepad can do it (count).

    Cheers :)

    no need to do it manually...

    what you want to do is create a list of every word. an easy way to do this is to split it on the " " (space).

    exactly how to do this depends drastically on your DMBS, which you don't mention.
