Filtering files using wildcards
I'm currently taking an Introduction to MS Word 2007 on-line course and am
having a problem with filtering files using wildcards. The instructor gave us the following info: What if you wanted to find all files that ended with a certain sequence of characters? Well, here's an example: suppose you need a list of all files that end with the word budget, such as 2003 budget, or 2004 BUDGET, or First Quarter Budget or Division E Materials Budget, or even fussbudget. Well, here's all you need to do: click in the File Name field and type the following: *budget This does not work? Am I doing something wrong, or is the info the instrucior gave incorrect? Thanks |

Filtering files using wildcards
Actually that should work in Word 2007 to locate all filenames *ending* in
budget, but if you want all filenames containing 'budget' you should use *budget* or merely budget without the wildcard. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Calucin wrote: I'm currently taking an Introduction to MS Word 2007 on-line course and am having a problem with filtering files using wildcards.
