WordDumpCM extracts all the words from the file and creates a new file whose contents is the extracted words, accompanied by their frequency. (For best results the file should have the proper extension for its type.)
The new file is located in the "WordDump" directory of your Document folder. The file name is derived from the original file and is automatically opened for you after it is created.
