howto search for a word in more than one *.doc (search in all doc's in a folder)?
Hi
I wonder howto search for a word in more than one *.doc; that is search for a word in all the doc-files in a folder. Can that be done? I have tryed to search for a word which I know is in more than one *.doc in MyDocuments but only one doc was found :-( which is strange. I use Word XP/2002 -- erik Denmark |

Hi Erik,
if you right-click the folder that holds the files, you should get the Search menu. Try adding the search word in the 'A word or phrase in the file' box. This should do the trick..
