Vista file search problem

[Peter]

I need to be able to search the contents of Word files in a set of folders
to find files containing a certain word.

However currently when I search a folder to find a file containing (say)
"golf" (I know a t least one file contains the word 'golf'), it does not
find any files. Even selecting contain contents.

However if I save the file in text format, thesearch finds the file.

Why - am I doing something wrong?

Thanks
Peter
