is it possible to find a publisher file when doing a windows search.
Click to expand...

If you search for *.pub you will find all Publisher files.

If you search for *bob*.pub you will find all Publisher files with bob
in the name.

If you search for bob.pub you will find all Publisher files called bob.pub.

yes, the standard search for all or part of file name, or text in a file
doesn't seem to access publisher files.

If you use the standard Windows search (from the Start Button) it doesn't
seem to work... At least not without jumping through hoops:)

However (in Pub 2003 - Win XP, anyway) when you go into the Open Publication
dialog click the Tools button in the dialog's toolbar & select Search. That
feature will find on the basis of content. I'd suggest, however, that you
limit the search to a single folder at any given time as content searches
can take quite a while to complete.

CyberTaz,

This feature is very important to me for accomplishing a weekly task. Using
the seach in the Open File is a good work around; but I have to search a
specific folder under my network places and then under the Shared Folder on
my secretary's computer. Consequently the Search under Open File doesn't let
you choose a specific folder under My Network Places.

What are the "jumping through hoops" that your reference below. I think I
am willing to jump through some of those hoops.
