I have recently made the switch from Excel97 to Excel 2007. I use an
Excel based purchase order app and routinely had locate and open a
saved purchase orders (.xls file) based on a text query. In Excel97
there was the capability to do a text search in the File|Open dialog
box. Excel 2007 does not have the text search function. Must I now
do text searches outside of Excel or is that capability hidden
somewhere?


Found the answer. Text searching in the Open dialog bog is only available
when Excel 2007 is running on Vista. Thanks Bill.
