How to find specific documents with specific text in Word 2007
Where do I go to find all the documents in Word 2007 folders that
contain a specific text or property? In Word 1997-2003, the "Open" dialog box had a feature that allowed the user to enter the specific text or property to be found and it did a search and listing of all files/docs containing that property. Where is this option in Word 2007. Pete Nole |

Pete Nole That functionality was transferred from the Office program group of Microsoft to the Windows program group -- meaning that you use Windows' search function instead of anything inside an Office program. If you don't like the search included in Windows, there are third-party indexing programs such as Google Desktop and Yahoo! Desktop Search. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |
