Word lists (as opposed to word count)

Is there a facility to list all the words used in a Word document? I don't need to know the word length but the vocabulary list of any given piece of text. Frequency of occurence would be useful but not essential. It would not need to be used with a dictionary or spell-checker, but simply to list every different combination of letters separated by spaces. This would mean I could find out what sort of language complexity a text has in any language by knowing which words it uses (useful both in my capacity as a language teacher and a language learner).

If there is no such function in Word, are there any commercially available programs on the market that do this?

There's a freeware tool linked from my web site that will do this -
http://www.gmayor.com/Zips/SCP32x40.exe
or you could simply make a copy of the document, replace spaces with
paragraph marks, sort the resulting column then use the replace function to
remove duplicates - see http://www.gmayor.com/replace_using_wildcards.htm

to list every different combination of letters separated by spaces. This
would mean I could find out what sort of language complexity a text has in
any language by knowing which words it uses (useful both in my capacity as a
