Searching for Word Documents
Is there a way I can search and list all Word documents on my computer or find all Word documents that have a special word in them? I have old files on my computer transferred from my old computers and my Documents section is messed up when I tried to transfer all my data to a new User. I have so many folders in different locations that it would be far easier to somehow have a "grand list" so I know I would be able to see all the documents in one listing. Frank C. |

Hi Frank
Yes you can search in File Explorer for all files ending in ".doc" and set the search to look at your whole computer. This will give you a list of ALL files ending in ".doc" on your system. Hope this helps. Good luck. Tony(OTPM) |

In addition, you can search for specific words or phrases. Just enter them in the Search box in a Windows Explorer window.
