Search/find in all open documents
Is there any way to command a "find" process to continue to search all
open document files? It's a pain to have to manually switch to the "next window" (next open document) and re-start the search, when I'm looking for hits in all of the open documents. I don't find such an option in the "find" dialog. Thanks, Fred Holmes |

It's a pain to have to actually type also, but Word hasnt been able to figure out a way to do that yet hahaha. Have a nice weekend everyone |

You could lash up a macro to do this.
http://www.gmayor.com/batch_replace.htm will show you how to batch replace on a folder of files, which should provide a start point, but there's no way to do this manually from the find dialog. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Fred Holmes wrote: Is there any way to command a "find" process to continue to search all open document files?

Many thanks.
This looks like a winner.
