Creating Word document with Search option

[Econassistant]

Our Board is wanting to create a document of all the minutes within the last
year compiled. Then be able to go into that one document and do a search.
They would be searching past minutes for subjects and decisions made in
precious meetings. Is it even possible to do a search within a word
document. If so, how do I set up search within the document.

To search for text in Word, press Ctrl+F (or choose Edit - Find, from the
menu).

To put all of the minutes into a Word file, start a new Word document, then
choose Insert - File. If the files you want can be arrayed in the desired
order, do that, then select them, and click Insert. Or... insert the files
one at a time. (You can also drag the files into the open Word document,
dragging from Windows Explorer.)
