That's a different thing. Word can still search for a word or a phrase
within an open document. This feature won't be dropped. Finding a file from
within Word is a different matter. This is preferrably done from the Finder.
Yes, it looked like I was saying an open document. I meant that I can
search a whole, specified, folder for a word or phrase in a document that
may be in that particular folder. Selecting a folder that the particular
document that I am looking for makes the search much faster. I could make
it the whole hard disk, but then it takes some time to search every document
on the hard disk for the word or phrase that I am looking for. For
instance, a couple of years ago I stashed away a document about the invasion
of the United States by Pancho Villa. Now I want that particular document
to quote a phrase from it. I can put in the Advanced Search, Summary,
Containing Text the word Pancho, or the phrase Pancho Villa, and then select
a folder, dated 2002, or even a particular folder within that folder, and
the Word Finder will pick that document out from all the others; or, if some
others had that word or phrase in it, they would be displayed in the index
and I could pick the document that I wanted from the index. I would hate to
lose this particular function. Earlier Word Finders also had a window in
which the text of the document would be displayed, and the word that you
were looking for could be searched for in this window with the Finder to see
if that was the document I was looking for. That particular function is
gone fro the present Word Finder, although the text window is still there
and you can visually go through the text and try to find the word.
