Search within a file
We have a file with FAQ's about various job processes....
We want our users to be able to SEARCH the FAQ's without having to use Auto Filter. I guess I would say we want the Search ability to be more free form. Is this possible in Word? thanks in advance, jane |

AutoFilter??? - Word doesn't have an AutoFilter (unless they snuck one into
the 2007 Beta). How about using EditFind (Ctrl+F)? For other possibilities you'll need to supply more specific info, including version of Word. -- HTH |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Jane" wrote in message ...

SOrry - the FAQ file is actually an Excel file an dI asked that group the
same question... ergo - the reference to Auto-filter. I rarely use Word but we have Word 2002 - any suggestions?

Your biggest problem is that Word docs are single-user, so each user would
need their own copy if more than one needs access at a time. Depending on the number of users that can make updates & revisions a nightmare. Without any more additional detail I tend to doubt that Word would be the 'preferred' program for such a project. What you are actually suggesting falls more into a data management category. The files could be done in Word (maybe even Excel) but available through a program such as Access. You might even consider doing the project as a PDF. -- Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac "Jane" wrote in message ...
