More than likely, you'll need to write a plugin to handle this because IAC doesn't seem to support it through COM

If you are creative in using the JS interface, you can extract all the words from a document. You would need to use a loop and put everything into an array or a List.

Have you read the documentation? Both for the native COM/.NET calls as well as those available via the JSBridge??

Thank you for your quick reply, can you please suggest the correct document that can help me, as i feel the most of the documentation is meant for C/C++ developers.
