Your post was very helpful, Bob. I also wish to figure out how to send
e-mail from Word (attachments) with Eudora. In 2003, it was sufficient to
set Eudora as my default mail app.
Thanks--Sherryll

Hi Socrates,
Some features that Office introduced or enhanced over the years have gone back to their 'home' group for management and
provisioning, i.e. they're no longer 'in the box' for Office with the 2007 version.
Among the features taken out of Office 2007 are
Search
Write/Draw Anywhere (when not on Windows Tablet PC edition)
Dictation
HTML/Script editing
Outlook hooks in to MS Desktop Search 3.0 and several desktop search packages (including those from MS, Google, etc) as well as the
search engines in Windows XP, Windows Live and Windows Vista are being revised and addressed at a rate that is quicker than
updates/changes to Office would probably support as an internal capability. The search capability in Word 2003 was sort of a
setback from earlier versions in that it lacked features such as 'saved search'
Office 2007 core apps native file format is XML (basically plain text) wrapped in a .zip box with differing file extensions under
the MS created OpenXML 'banner' for file formats. One of the ideas is not only can those files be searched outside of Office they
can also be modified without the use of MS Office.
If any of this impacts or lessens your ability to accomplish work when moving to Office 2007 from an earlier version, or for any
feedback on your Office 2007 experience you can send that directly to the MS Office Product team using the feedback tool from link
#3 below.

In Word 2003, I can Open documents, use Tools to find all documents with a
certain word or phrase in them. I cannot figure out how to do this in Word
2007 Beta. I want to be able to search for certain terms in my huge
collection of documents.

I hope this helped you,
