At work, I use Word (Office 2000). When I save a doc, I use the Properties screen. Under Category, I either enter a D or F (draft or final). I assumed when you Open a folder, & use Find to narrow your search, you could use any of the Properties fields, enter a criteria, & have the list bring up only those docs that met the criteria; however, I can't seem to make it work. Under Find, I select Category "is exactly" & I enter a "D", then begin search; the list comes up with all the docs in that folder. I have a message on the Microsoft Newsgroup help site, but it's been three days, so I guess no one knows what to do. I assumed that all the "fields" on the Properties screen (when you save a doc) were usable for narrowing searches for docs in a folder, but I can't seem to get it to work. I'd appreciate any help.
