Searching entire document
I find that when I search for something in a document with footnotes, Word
doesn't search the footnotes. I have to click in the footnotes and run the search again, which is a pain. There was a time it used to and I don't know if I've unclicked something. Is there a way I can get back to having it search the entire document? I'm using Word 2000. Thanks. |

Hi Suroora,
There was a time it used to and I don't know if I've unclicked something. Hardly. See: http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customizat...ceAnywhere.htm Sorry, there is no easy solution, IMHO. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Win XP, Office 2003 "red.sys" & Chr$(64) & "t-online.de" |

Actually, if you let it search the entire text, it will then begin to
search all the footnotes after it is done with the main text. So if it searched, found something on page 5, but seems to have not-found the note on page 4, that's standard behavior. Let it search all the text and then it will go back and search the notes. Spellcheck behaves the same way. Don't select anything first, though. Word doesn't search page by page--if you want to know why, see he http://word.mvps.org/mac/pagesinword.html suroora wrote: I find that when I search for something in a document with footnotes, Word doesn't search the footnotes.
