How do I search for a specific word in the file name?
I have been trying to figure out how I can make Word search for a specific
word contained in the file name of my documents. I have the same program at work and it does it there. For example, I have my files saved by document type, client and date = Motion.Smith.5.05. I can click open on the toolbar, type in "smith" in the file name and it pulls up all documents I have done with the name Smith in the file name. It doesn't do it on my home computer. I have to go to the advanced search or the search in the start menu. Does anyone have any suggestions???? |

Do you have a more recent version of Word at home?
Simply use wildcards i.e. in the example you have quoted put *smith* in the filename box and press enter. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Trlamamemi wrote: I have been trying to figure out how I can make Word search for a specific word contained in the file name of my documents.
