In Windows XP, if you select "Files and folders," then you get another pane
in which you can search for either the filename or a word that appears in
the content.

I have tried using the 'Search' command under the 'Start' menu but don't
see
anywhere to enter a word to search for (as there was in the previoius
version
of Word) but rather only a space for the name of a file that you want to
search for (which is obviously irrelevant if one is looking for the same
word
in multiple files and documents no matter which file they may be in).
Thank
you in advance for any suggestions / instruction.

I'm an old WP user and with that, could search for a particular word in
multiple files at one time. I have both word 97 and 2003 and know how
to
search a single file. Can multiple files be searched at a time without
opening them??
