In the old days we used to have a program called Gopher. It could find anything in any document, etc. It is like Spotlight. If you have indexed everything, you should be able to search for a particular word in a document and it will find it. Just type the word or phrase in the spotlight search box. You can also search by folders, etc. Nanc On Apr 30, 2005, at 12:05 PM, Zane H.
