Windows 7 / Office 2010
Is there a facility—Windows or Office—whereby one can search for a keyword in multiple (unopened) Word documents in a given folder?
If yes, please provide details.
My search is for a keyword in the document content.
I have since established that the initial search yields a list of files (if any) where the keyword is in the file name only.
Then, at the bottom of this list, additional options are given (which I missed on previous occasions):
When I select 'File Contents' here, it does actually search the contents of the filie.
Thanks to everyone for your input.
