The information in this article applies to:
SYMPTOMSWhen you use the Find File command on the File menu and select the Include Subdirectories option, Word for Windows may search only the current directory. (You can find the Include Subdirectories option in the Search dialog box; if this dialog box does not appear when you choose Find File from the File menu, choose the Search button.) CAUSE
Word searches only the current directory and does not search the
subdirectories if you do not include a backslash (\) character after the
drive letter in the Location box in the Search dialog box. For example, if
you type "C:" (without the quotation marks) in the Location box, Word
searches the current directory. By contrast, if you type C:\ in the
Location box, Word searches all the subdirectories on drive C.
STATUSMicrosoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Word versions 6.0 and 6.0a for Windows. We are researching this problem and will post new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes available. Additional query words: 6.00a winword word6
