View all text from design files

Question

Hi, 
 Is there a way to view and search all text strings that exist in a design file/files? 
 Would I have to output everything to a .txt file first? 
 My end goal is to be able to search for a string of text and then be able to tell which design file that text is present on. 
 Thanks

As Jon suggested the best approach to see all text within a file would be to use a report.

 Do you mean which reference it is in or would you be checking different files. The ability to search for a specific text string is possible already through the Select by Attributes or the Find/Replace Text tools
