I am on Word 2003. I have created several documents and put key words in the
Keyword portion of the properties box. I have tried using the Advanced File
Search capability in Word to find the docs by searching on Keywords and my
search is coming back as 'No Results'. I know the docs exist and I even put
some really weird words in to make the search easier. I need to be able to
search thru hundreds of word docs utilizing keywords. Any help here would be
appreciated. Thanks, Robin

Whenever you need to find one of your annotated files, choose Start, Find,
Files or Folders, Start, Search, For Files and Folders, or Start, Search, All
files and folders depending on your version of Windows. Type one or more of
your keywords in the box labeled 'Containing text' or 'A word or phrase in
the file', depending on your Windows version. Specify any other desired
search criteria, and click Search or Find Now. Windows will detect your
keywords and retrieve the file(s) you seek.
