Word 2003 had file search feature with different search criteria such as:
word in title, word in file name, date created, content in document, etc.
Does 2007 version have this? I can't seem to find it.

[Beth Metlon]

Vista now includes this type of functionality in the dialog boxes so if you
are using Vista.you'll have the functionaly - if you don't then you won't
have it.

Hi Sanyod,

To add one bit to Beth's reply. For the 2007 editions the MS Office team basically relinquished the file search critera as a User
Interface capability back to the Windows team. If you don't have Windows Vista, you can get the ability to do additional search
capability by installing the Windows Desktop (indexed) search program. (earch criteria:

or another 3rd party desktop search product. They do tend to be a bit heavy on computer resources, especially during the first few
days when they're building indicies.

Thanks for your help!!!

Thanks Bob. Is Vista bug-free enough that I should consider installing it?

Yes, you should "Consider" installing it :-)

There's a free analysis tool on the website that will assess your current
hardware and software, and give you a report of what will upgrade and what
won't.

For example: on one of my systems, there are no stable Vista drivers for
the graphics card. On the other, there are no Vista drivers available for
the optical drives.

So by all means "consider" it, because if everything you need is supported,
Vista itself is quite solid. But make sure you're not "caught" needing
something you can't get an upgrade or a driver for yet.

Cheers
