Where is the Find function when opening a Word document?

[Guest]

In the previous version of Word, when opening a document there was a
sub-command called Find. It allowed you to create a search based on the
information entered into the Properties fields for an entire group of
documents to find the ones that met your search criteria.

Anyone know where that functionality has moved to?

What version of Word are you using and what operating system?

Sorry, that would be helpful! Our office just changed to Word 2007 within
Windows XP.

Yes, very helpful in light of your question.

They removed the Find feature from Office 2007 and it's now provided by
Windows, Windows Vista, that is. When you use Office 2007 on Windows Vista
the Open/Save As dialog boxes include a Search feature. So if you aren't
using Windows Vista then you don't have this option. :-(

But you can still use Windows Explorer to search for your files then open
them from there, or drag and drop them ontoWord.
