Yes, CyberTaz, that is the function I am talking about. The problem is that
the version in Office 2003 does not allow me to preview documents as I could
using the version in Office 2000. I am looking for a way to activate a
preview pane OR an equivalent workaround.

When you go into the Open File dialog box, open its Tools Menu. Search... is

In Office 2000, Word contained a File Search (or Find File) function that
allowed one to preview the found documents before opening them. In Office
2003, the File Search function in Word does not seem to include this
function. Can anyone tell me how to activate a preview pane in File Search
or suggest a workaround?
