Using the Excell found in Office 2007 I cannot find a way to search unopened
files on my computer for a specific text string such as a street address, to
see if it shows up in any of my other files. This was done easily in the
Excell found in Office XP. You pulled down the file menu and chose "search" a
seperate search task pane popped up where you could input the text and select
where to look on your computer as well as tell it what type of files to look
in and it would populate a list of files that contain some or all of your
text. Is this feature available in Office 2007? if so I cannot seem to find
it!
This feature is my main reason for using Excell over other office suites,
can someone help me on this. Thanks

Hi

It seems that it is one of the features that has been deprecated in XL2007.
Even trying the shortcut of Alt+F+H does not bring it up.
