Hi, I searched on ald messages in this newsgroup and on Google before
asking...

How do I search all files that are Word document, and in the filename have
the word "Income" AND Also the word "North"??

I'm pretty sure that in the search box I entered "Income North doc"... But
now (Windows XP SP2) it searched for ANY of these 3 words in the filename...
instead al ALL (Thats, now it uses [OR], and I want [And])

Thanls!!!
 
Hi, Andrew.

Have you tried one of the several newsgroups that concentrate on Microsoft
Word? You might start with this one:

Thanks RC... But perhaps I explained bad...

It is NOT a Word issue....

It's a Windows search Issue...

I guess you read hundreds of messages per day...

I repeat: How do I search for all files that have the "hello" in it's
filename, and also have the words "friend", or thee word "family".

i.e: How do I use this criteria:
([Filename] like '*hello*' and [Filename] like '*friend*') or ([Filename]
like '*hello*' and [Filename] like '*family*')

Try searching for 'hello,friend,family' without the quotes.

Nope... the coma is assumed as a "OR"
