File search criteria

P

Pam

From Open/Tools/Search in Powerpoint I am trying to find all files with file
names that start with the letter 'e' on my hard drive. When i do the search i
get all files with the letter 'e' in it somewhere but not just the beginning,
such as egg, empire, etc.

Hi Pam,

You may find it quicker to use Start=>Search in Windows, where you can sort and save the results, but it Office Search you can
search, using the Advanced Tab for File Names that include e*.*
and don't specify a particular file type in 'other' search options'.

For Powerpoint files you can use e*.p?t to find both .ppt and .pot files for Powerpoint.
