How do I find specific document file by text search?
DRobertson97 12/22/2008 10:06:05 PM
In Word 97 I could click open file and then search text from all documents to
get a list of documents that contained a particular word or phrase. Anyone
know how to do this in Word 2007?

The Find command has been dropped from the Office dialogs in favor of the better
Find tool in Windows. Use the Search box in Computer (also called My Computer or
Windows Explorer, depending on the Windows version), or press Windows key + F.
