Hello and Good Morning, I have done searches with microsoft word on the cd numerous times, it will work fine, however each file must be opened individually one at a time, or all at once, your choice. although I have an extremely fast computer and am able to open ALL of them at one time, there are alot of files, and this is not recommended, however, I only did it only to prevent missing any. if you choose to go this route, be prepared, it will take a bit of time to go through them all. especially if you are looking for more than one surname, or person (each one requires an additional search through) once the word files are open, I use the find feature, (ctrl + F) to locate the specific person, family, or name targeted. its a bummer, it is not possible to search all of the files at once, if anyone comes up with another method, please let me know. good luck and happy hunting Steven > [Original Message] > From: James Johnston <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Date: 4/23/2005 8:07:24 PM > Subject: Re: [ARSEARCY] Re: Looking for Horton and Winchester > > The CD is the first 10 years of the "Searcy County Ancestor Information > Exchange".
