Hello -

Does anyone know if it's possible to use the Find tool to search more than
one document at a time? I can't see where this is possible, but may be
missing something. We are using Word 2007.

Thank you.

Hi Greg,

Thank you for responding to my question. I tested the add-in, but I don't
think this is exactly what I'm looking for.

First, is there a way to use your add-in to search mulitple opened documents
all at once?

Second, can you use your add-in without the replace feature?

My user wants to search for text in multiple opened documents, but not
necessarily replace anything.

Thanks, again!

Tammy,

A) Not as written. The AddIn was designed to search and replace in a single
open document or to perform the search and replace on file in a batch folder
(i.e., open each file in the folder and perform the process then save and
close the file). You may be able to adapt the code in some way to look in
each document in the current document collection.

B). You could replace with the find text.

Thank you very much, Greg, for taking the time to answer my post. Maybe I can
"WOW" someone with your terrific add-in some time in the future. Thanks,
again!
