OPEN TOOLS SEARCH (Office 2007) MISSING !?
Hi, all,
This is my first visit here and my question is (hopefully) very simple. Where did "Microsoft" programmers hide the search option (which was very useful in searching for particular strings etc) upon opening an "Office" file in previous versions. Thanks in advance Michael |

It's not 100% clear what you're asking. In Word 2007, search in an
already-open file can be started (as it can in previous versions of Word), by pressing Ctrl+F. It's also in the Home ribbon tab, in the Editing section (right end of the ribbon). Or... are you perhaps talking about finding "strings" in unopened files? If so, file find was removed from Word 2007 itself (if you run the filefind command, Word 2007 displays the Save As dialog). If you have Vista, you can search for strings in unopened files from any file dialog, simply by typing the search text into the Search box. In Windows XP, use Windows Explorer's search capabilities. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "מיכאל (מיקי) אבידן®" wrote in message ...

Herb,
I was certain that my question is clear by looking at its tiltle/header. It was all about searchig through CLOSED documents. Your answer was clear and understood.

I thought that new versions were supposed to ADD features and capabilities
not REMOVE them. I am definitely disappointed in Word 2007 -- a new look with the removal of some of the most popular features. Bummer.
