KH_GS,
And as Tim says, Excel may not be the best method.
Databases (e.g. the free MySQL) that support full text search on BLOBs would
probably prove more efficient on large amounts of text.
I think you approach will need to more complex to retrieve meaningful
results. For example, how you classify "closed" in "..a closed window.." ?
or "..will be closed.." i.e. future not past.

KH_GS,
If this is more to do with grammar than specific words/letters, I suspect
there are better ways.
An easy way would automate Word's spelling/grammar checker.
Or there are a lot of grammar components out there.

Part of a project, this stage is something about catching word in
different tenses.

Any idea to go about it?

To satisfy our (my) curiosity, can you let us know why you're doing
this?
Seems like a v. large amount of data you are analyzing...

Thanks
