Answers
I have posted here before and I get great references via links from the
MVP's! At these links I have found other sites and reference sources in the form of FAQ's. Is there a way to search for particular topics/words in these types of reference sources? I don't mind looking up my own answers but like most people, I don't have time to read through 50 or so questions to see if there is one that refers to my problem? Thanks! |

If you are asking whether you can search these newsgroups, then the answer
is yes. It's a bit easier if you access the NGs with an NNTP newsreader such as Outlook Express, but I believe there is a search feature in the Microsoft Communities portal as well. But the easiest way to search for anything (including archived NG posts) is Google. -- Suzanne S.

See especially Advanced Groups Search, which just searches newsgroups
http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search For instance, putting "microsoft.public.word.*" in the group field will search only the MS word newsgroups for a phrase as detailed as you care to make it. I think the interface is more skimmable on google than the MS Communities. The Word FAQ site does have a search function, but it tends to work better if you know what you are looking for.
