help on searching for a word in a word document
I am running 2003 word and I have 8 or 9 documents open in the same folder
containing say 20 word documents. I run the find command searching for a word in document but it only reports the word or phrase found in the documents that I have not opened and not the 8 or 9 where the word or phrase exists also. Do I need to install a patch and does this happen in 2007 word. Thanks in advance Sammy |

help on searching for a word in a word document
Did you ask the question correctly? I can't imagine Word searching
documents that are _not_ open. Also, I haven't found a way to run a single search over several documents at once!

help on searching for a word in a word document
Thanks for the web links
I should have mentioned I was using windows standard explore find short cut being cntrl F and setting option to search the contents of all files in directory for a word/string output being a list of files that contain the string, providing files are currently not open by word or any other application.

If you are writing about the Search feature of the Windows Explorer environment, then I believe that it cannot search in documents that are opened as they are flagged as "Locked". I would suggest that you do take the time to write a more detailed post if you want reliable help. |
