MS Office Forum / Word / Menus and Toolbars / May 2004Search files in Word 2000
Is there a way to get a keyboard or toolbar shortcut to File-Open-Tools-Find in Word 2000? I used to use the search files by keyword option in File-Open in Word 97 ALL THE TIME. But I don't want to have to click so many times to get what I want in Word 2000. Can anyone help? Thanks! Beth Hi Beth, I am not sure i am answering your question or not. Your question seems more confusing.In all the word versions to search for a word or a string in a document the easiest way is to use CTRL + F. Please let me know if i can be of correct assistance... Thank You... Raghu... This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. Beth is not looking for a way to "search for a word or a string in a document." She is trying to search for *files* by keyword. -- Suzanne S.

I may be imagining it, but ISTR that there was a Search button on the Standard toolbar in Word 2002. It may or may not have been there in Word 2000. In Word 2003, there is a File Search command on the File menu, and this could be added to a toolbar using Tools | Customize (File | File Search on the Commands tab). In Word 2003, this opens a task pane, so it may be a Word 2002/2003 addition, but you might explore Tools | Customize for a comparable command. -- Suzanne S.

You can record such a macro (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/UsingRecorder.htm). Perhaps someone else who is VBA-literate can provide you one ready-made. -- Suzanne S.

Yes, does anyone know of the VBA to write this macro? The record macro option didn't capture what I wanted.
