Before you can do this exercise, you'll need to download and unzip this file (if you have any problems doing this, click here for help).

You need a minimum screen resolution of about 700 pixels width to see our exercises. This is because they contain diagrams and tables which would not be viewable easily on a mobile phone or small laptop. Please use a larger tablet, notebook or desktop computer, or change your screen resolution settings.

You should find that this document already contains a macro:

Macro printing text of each word

This macro prints out the text of each word

Amend your macro so that it loops over all the words in this story, either:

  • adding the word to an Excel spreadsheet if not already found; or
  • increasing the word count in Excel if this word has already been added.

Your final output should look like this:

Words frequency table

After sorting, you should find THE is the most common word
