| Can't search Word 2007 files in Windows Explorer When I try searching all the Word 2007 .docx documents in Windows Explorer by asking for a word in the document, I get no matches for docs I know the word is in. When there are Word 2002 .doc documents or HTML files in the same folder that have it, they do come up when I search for the word. Is there some way out of this without going back and converting a bunch of 2007 files back into 2002 files? (I think this might have something to do with Unicode vs. ASCII.)      |

| Re: Can't search Word 2007 files in Windows Explorer I ran REGEDIT, and added FilterFiles With Unknown Extensions - REG_DWORD - 0x0000000 (1), And went Exit and rebooted, and it still doesn't work. (My searches were successful in .xlsm and .xlsx files even before I did this. I don't have this problem with Excel 2007.) 3c273 wrote: > Google for this string: > "filterfileswithunknownextensions" > Louis > > "Butterfly Bill" <butterflybill@grapevine.net> wrote in message > news:a92373d2-4faa-4cda-a4ae-a4155137b4fd@e10g2000prf.googlegroups.com... > > When I try searching all the Word 2007 .docx documents in Windows > > Explorer by asking for a word in the document, I get no matches for > > docs I know the word is in.
