Word 2007 was just installed on my computer and I'm wondering what happened
to the "search" command under the "file" menu? I need to be able to search
my old documents with multiple queries and the ability to tell Word where to
look for them. Help?!!!

If you're using Word 2007 in Vista... you can search using the search box in
the upper right corner of any file dialog box. To look for the keyword
"book" for example, type tags:book in the search box. To search file
contents, type what you're looking for in the search box. To search for
matching file names, use name:[spec] where [spec] is the file specification
(e.g., name:*.doc, name:l*.docx, etc.).

If you're using Word 2007 in Windowx XP... I don't have any good suggestions
for you except to go directly to Windows Explorer.

Thanks, Herb. I'm stuck with Windows XP. Lots of other users are
experiencing the same problems. I appreciate your time!
