I'm currently taking an Introduction to MS Word 2007 on-line course and am
having a problem with filtering files using wildcards. The instructor gave
us the following info:

What if you wanted to find all files that ended with a certain sequence of
characters? Well, here's an example: suppose you need a list of all files
that end with the word budget, such as 2003 budget, or 2004 BUDGET, or First
Quarter Budget or Division E Materials Budget, or even fussbudget.

Well, here's all you need to do: click in the File Name field and type the
following:


*budget

This does not work? Am I doing something wrong, or is the info the
instrucior gave incorrect?

Thanks
 
Actually that should work in Word 2007 to locate all filenames *ending* in
budget, but if you want all filenames containing 'budget' you should use
*budget* or merely budget without the wildcard.
