Searches for file names
Sorry about previous post, submitted in error regarding Wildcard searches
The question is: Word 2002 provides the capability to conduct a wildcard search by file name in the Open dialog box by entering, for example, *vac*. If the Enter key is pressed, the file list will be limited to only files with vac in the file name. Is the a way to specify more than one search criteria to accomplish finding files with vac or cross in the file name. Thanks. Paul |

Paul Hi Paul, Haven't tried with the file search, but usually in such dialogs you can specify comma-separated expressions/alternatives: *vac*,*cross* (or more generally: separated by the Windows field separator, say a ";" in German Win XP) Regards, Klaus |

Sorry, no. In the Word Open dialog, you'll have to run separate
searches to handle an "or" condition. However, you can do this in the Windows Explorer ("My Computer") search pane. Separate the values with commas, as in *vac*,*cross* In the findings, double-click a file to open it in Word. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
