Is there an easy way to do a text search of E-Mail attachments (.doc, .xls,
..pdf, .ppt, etc).

I know there probably is a way using a third party product or a plug-in, but
was wondering if there is a way to search the contents of attachements using
an ordinary installation of Outlook 2003.

Any assiatance would be greatly appreciated

No, Outlook 2003 does not have that capability. Outlook 2007 will.
