Find File Fast

[Jill Pleau]

I am not sure how to search for this and therefore haven't had any luc
finding a solution.

I upgraded one of my users to Office 2000 from 97, previously in exce
97 she would go to open and search for a document by typing the firs
few characters of the file name, the search would bring her to th
general area she needed to be in and from there she would select he
file.

In Excel 2000 this no longer works as a search function when she type
a letter -- nothing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks,

Jil

If she's looking for everything that starts with Boo (as in Book1.xls), tell her
to type:

boo
and hit enter

If she's looking for all the files that contain "boo", tell her to type:
*boo*
and hit enter

It's not quite the same, but after awhile, she'll get used to it. (I did.)
