Thanks to all.
But the first two suggestions were much too general. However that is a
good place for general searches. I bookmarked it.

I was looking specifically for the Word newusers group. And garfield hit
it dead on. Thanks.


You could still use the Google advanced search link that Stan and I posted,
and simply specify "microsoft.public.word.newusers" in the field that says
"Return only messages from the group:"

I like the Google search because I can specify multiple search groups. I
don't think that's possible with Microsoft's search. In your case this
isn't necessary, but Microsoft has a bad habit of creating redundant,
overlapping newsgroups. For example:

microsoft.public.office.developer.outlook.forms
microsoft.public.outlook.program_forms

microsoft.public.visual.sourcesafe
microsoft.public.vstudio.sourcesafe

Also, I can search both Microsoft and Usenet newsgroups at the same time.
